Every encounter leaves a mark. The person we finally become can be softly molded by the good times, the bad times, and the in-between. Cupp takes that idea and runs with it in "The Layers of Reality", a potent original single that makes personal experience its primary creative drive.
The track has a story of its own, an intriguing one. “The Layers of Reality” is a reimagining and remake of an unreleased piece, developed exclusively for the DJ Epps webcast. What started as a song meant to go unnoticed grew into something captivating enough to have a life beyond its original setting.
It’s a perfect change for a track about how experiences shape us. As individuals change because of circumstances beyond their control, so did the music find a new course through an unexpected creative turn. Cupp's decision to rework the composition, rather than leave it as is, adds another dimension to the release. Somewhere along the way, while revising the song for the livestream, someone realized there was something here to work with, and it was eventually released officially.
