Background and promotion

Ängie and Harrison First meet on Summer 2019 when First DM-ed her to join him on a session after the artist he has working with didn't show up. They felt a strong working chemistry and started working on their first collaborative EP Each Other, released on June 4, 2020.[1] After its success, they decided to make more music. They started working on the album later on and plan to release more music together in the future.[2] The three tracks on the previous EP were included. A music video for the single "Bambam",[3] co-directed by Ängie and frequent colaborator Christofer Nilsson premiered via Gaffa on June 20, 2019.[1] "Silver Sadness" served as the lead single and was released on May 29, 2020 along its music video, directed by Ängie herself and premiered a day before via Independent Music News.[4] A music video for the track "Basic" was unveiled on the album's release date. It was directed by Jean-Luc Mwepu and co-directed by Ängie.[5]

Composition

Harrison First commented in an interview with TEEZ' FM about the album's musical style, saying that it started as a mainly guitar-sounding project that morphed into something different. Also explained that the album was named Not Pushing Daisies as an ode to Ängie's debut EP Suicidal Since 1995 and that the title means she's not suicidal anymore. He also told that "Basic" was about "people that want to be around you only because of success" and that personally, "Talk to Me Nice" was his favorite song at the moment.[2]
