The result of a dark night of the soul-and ensuing epiphany-that led to a series of professional and personal reckonings, Sweet Justice isn't a revenge album, but it does stem from a profound sense of karma. In a traditional sense, it's a breakup record: about Tkay splitting off from her self-doubt and warped sense of self; the toxic figures that populated the last chapter of her life; and the idea that she should stick to any one lane.
After severing ties with old friends, she found some new ones on the same creative wavelength: Canadian producers Stint and Kaytranada, and fellow Australian Flume, all of whom contribute production. Sweet Justice is an album that embodies the beautiful contradictions of Tkay's art: it's a coming-of-age record by someone who's mastered the game; an album about karmic justice and accountability that's bright, breezy and incredibly fun. In Tkay's mind, it's a rebirth album, a record about harnessing the feminine power that was innate in her the whole time.
