“Last month I recorded a song called dadah, meaning drugs.
I was going through a tough time in my life, and at some point I thought maybe I should get high to numb the pain.
Luckily I was able to overcome my pain by channeling my frustrations into my music.
Recording this song was the beginning of my healing process and I hope it also heals someone else,” says Barbie.
