Cornelius Eady delivers his message through a voice that maintains calmness while expressing firm truths without the need for shouting.
“Quicksand” captures attention because it delivers an authentic experience. The song maintains a straightforward presentation without attempting to dazzle through excessive production. It holds its strength in its simplicity. The collaboration between Eady, Rauh, and Liu spans more than ten years which is evident in their work.
