And I got to keep it true, and I got to see it through...

Coming off back-to-back releases of "Machete Summer" and "Is Loving Really Bad?", NYC-native musical artist Liim shares with Tumblr the creative inspiration behind his recent music, how he was first introduced to blogging, and what the summer season has in store. Read below ⬇️ and if you haven't already, check out the music video for "R.I.P Peace" filled with childhood and internet nostalgia.

Tumblr: You just released your new song “Machete Summer” along with a performance with Colors Studios. Can you tell us about the creative inspiration behind this project?

Liim: The inspiration behind this song comes from me reminiscing on my youth. I was outside whalin every single day and I don’t miss it but I appreciate it. Also the song is about seeing someone I grew up with chase someone with a machete down Amsterdam Ave.

Tumblr: Your music video for “R.I.P Peace” was inspired by Blood Orange’s “Champagne Coast.” Are there any other artists who have had a significant impact on you throughout your career?

Liim: I’d say Andre 3000 and Stevie Wonder have had the biggest influence on how I see music. They are my top 1 artists side by side. 

Tumblr: You’re very active on your blog and through it have built a distinct visual identity. How did you get started on Tumblr, and how do you now use it for self-expression and community connection?

Liim: A friend of mine put me on to Tumblr and I just liked that I could post stuff nobody else would see on my main accounts, more exclusive if you know you know kinda vibe.

Tumblr: Later this summer, you’ll be performing at All Points East festival in London amongst a lineup of some great names in music, including fellow Tumblr artist Sade Olutola. How do you typically prepare for a performance like this? What are you looking forward to the most?

Liim: You know I should probably prepare more from my performances but I tend to do like one or two rehearsals and wing it most of the time. I always land on my feet tho.

Be sure to follow Liim on Tumblr for more music updates!
