    The singer who made the song he sampled (Sara Tavares - Balancé) passed away yesterday at 45 due to brain tumor. May she rest in peace and live forever through her music and also in Cole’s music 🙏 this is a beautiful song

    I’m deeply saddened to hear about the passing of the incredibly talented singer from the sample Sara Tavares last night. Her soulful voice and heartfelt melodies touched many lives, and this song serves as a beautiful testament to her legacy. May her music continue to inspire and uplift us as we remember her. Rest in peace.
