Interview — Dash House on Talk About It, Emotional Avoidance & Saying What Hurts

1. Talk About It feels built around emotional hesitation — the moment before a difficult conversation happens. What emotional situation inspired the track?

4. The track carries a strong sense of late-night introspection — almost like a conversation you keep postponing. Was that atmosphere intentional in the production?
