About the record
Better Days is a vision of rebuilding and opportunity after the 2024 earthquake, carried by vibrant samples reminiscent of early Kanye West productions. Mantis and Kele Productions speak on real issues with real voices — and refuse to give up on better days.
“There was never a real intention or concept behind the album. Every song is a captured moment from the last 2 years. The biggest growth I've experienced was learning how to perform on stage with a live band. New experiences, new possibilities, new challenges, the potential felt almost limitless. I think the biggest highlight has to be the production. Everything you hear was crafted by Equalix and it brought out the best of me at the time of recording.
For me, listening to the entire album in order can deliver the best experience, however you can consume it how you wish. Thank you for continuing to listen, I hope at least one song can remind you that even in the worst nights, there will always be better days…”
