Today, Dominican-American musician Twin Shadow shared the second track, ‘Awkward Backward’, from his forthcoming album ‘Cadet’. For the song, the gifted music-making actor sings about feeling lost, navigating through heartbreak, and what appears to be a relationship that has given him more confusion than clarity. Aside from the complexities tied to his deep emotions, the song is an incredibly endearing one that most people could relate to and potentially enjoy because it was well-made.

About the self-produced track, Twin Shadow explains,

““Awkward Backward’ is a song about insecurities—about always needing to be the first to figure out what’s going on in a relationship, to predict who’s going to jump ship first. It’s about dodging bullets and trying to get the upper hand, all in the name of protecting your own ego. But beneath that defensiveness lies an admission: these are my shortcomings. The song is a confession and an invitation to go deeper, to ask if maybe it’s finally time to stop running and truly connect.”
