“The First Tree is the first song I wrote for the album LOOM. I want to make something that would represent all the aspects of the record: very focused on sound design and production, yet very narrative. But beyond that, I wanted a perfect environment for Gracy’s voice. I wanted him to instantly understand the track and its meaning when he would first hear it, and to want to be a part of it. For the longest time I wanted to work with him, and I’m super proud of what we achieved with The First Tree.” – Uèle Lamore

“I’ve met Uèle in 2019. On our first studio session, she played The First Tree; which stroke straight to my heart. I’ve instantly known what I was supposed to say. I see my lyrics as a spoken translation of what the very cinematic composition illustrates. The story is about the core of humanity, the fate of an innovator, and the evolution of a human being becoming a leader. Leader of his/her own life and leader of a generation.” – Gracy Hopkins
