Suffering from a serious bout of depression, Justin Martin aka Otherly, locked himself into his bedroom studio for the better part of 3 years.  The result?  An 11 song LP entitled Darkling that sonically embodies every bit of this brooding period.   “Leave,” Otherly’s first offering off of the Darkling LP, is about “feigning intimacy with someone to simulate the feeling of a relationship when you know (and they probably know) that you’re lying to yourself.  You’re faking it so you can feel a version of the real thing for a short period of time, and if either side acknowledges the charade, it’s going to fail,”describes Martin.  Otherly enlisted his longtime friend and collaborator KSRA, to bring his words to life.  KSRA’s sensual vocal tastefully weaves in and out of Otherly’s spacious production.  To complete his vision for the song, Otherly took to his camera and created a beautiful video that lures you in and won’t let you go until it’s over.  Leave serves as a prelude to what to expect from this talented “one-stop-shop” Producer/Writer/Director’s debut Darkling LP.
