The intricately layered soundscape of the stand-out track ‘It’s You Not Me’ swirls with zesty riffs and dynamic drums, culminating in the passionate vocals of the chorus that ultimately creates an irresistible tune. The song is inspired by the emotional roller coaster of “coming out of a breakup and taking off those rose-coloured glasses” explains DOOLIE. “All the frustration and anger boiling up to the point where you gain clarity. I wanted to emulate that emotion through this song, especially the feeling of deciding that you mean it when you say you’re not coming back.” This empowering anti-love song was produced with renowned electronic producer Kilter (Nicole Millar, Woodes, CLYPSO), an artist she has formed an excellent working relationship with over the last few years.

The creation of this mixtape saw DOOLIE connect with a tight crew of notable producers including Kilter, Moonbase (Only For A Night), GXNXVS (Attention, 2:20), Cam Nacson (Slow Crawl), ALIUS (Conflicted), Paces (Don’t Run) and POOLCLVB (Freefall). In a statement about this creative process behind the mixtape DOOLIE explained that “it’s been such a journey to get to this point, these songs represent different times in my life and have come together as a soundtrack I wish I had. I hope they connect with anyone going through a similar time in their lives. The collaboration process on this mixtape, has helped me grow so much personally, as well as a songwriter. I’m so thankful for all the amazing people I’ve worked with, and who’ve been part of the process with me”.
