Make It Easy
Erica cried in the parking lot the first time she heard Sylvan Esso’s song, “Make It Easy.” Amelia and Nick talk about the process of writing Free Love’s closing track – the magic of its demo, trying to capture a certain feeling, writing a song that’s licking the edge of something.

Customer Reviews
Beautiful
Inspiring, the kind of art that makes you want to create. The kind of people that make your heart warm. The kind of intimacy you get with real friends. All while knowing it’s a version they want to share. And I’m so grateful that they did.
Serene
Every thing these two touch turns to gold.
Profound
Rare insight into the creative process. Best listened to on headphones (ideally while walking) or in the car.
