For Pankoi, music is less about perfection and more about honesty. With the release of “Enough,” the artist opens a quiet but powerful doorway into a new era
Your latest song, “Enough,” feels like a turning point. How does it fit into your wider body of work?
“Enough” is kind of like a bridge between my previous works and this new EP. It’s also the calmest song on the EP—it’s the one that’s warming you up to it, I guess.
That calm really comes through. What headspace were you in when you wrote it?
I wrote this song on a day when I was really stressed and feeling so down. “Enough” is a song about mental health—about not feeling like you’re doing enough. It’s that feeling of being like, I’m not enough… send help.
That sentiment is incredibly relatable. How did you want to visually express those thoughts?
With the music video, I kind of wanted to face those thoughts. So the video is like a black-and-white film, and there’s a poem that I wrote playing along the bottom of the screen.
That sounds very cinematic and intentional.
Yeah—the poem is meant to feel more like a storyline. And it actually ends on a really positive note… which I won’t say what it is, because—no spoilers.
Fair enough. We’ll let the audience experience that for themselves.
The new EP “Germination” is out on October 17th. Thanks so much for chatting with I Don’t Blame You Media!
