The inspiration for “Cigarettes and Coffee” stems from those rare, genuine moments when people let their guard down and reveal their true selves. Joss explains, “I wanted to capture the beauty of those instances when you’re sharing a simple, quiet moment with someone and they feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable.”
The song is about appreciating the authenticity and honesty in these intimate moments, valuing the raw, unfiltered conversations, and deep connections that come from simply being present with each other.
“Cigarettes and Coffee” came to fruition through a collaborative effort, with Joss teaming up with talented Cape Town producer Theo Mulder.
Mulder’s skill in distilling raw emotion and maintaining simplicity was instrumental in shaping the track’s final form.
The creative process was further enhanced by the contributions of songwriter Caleb Williams, whose input was pivotal in refining the song’s concept and melodic structure, helping to elevate Joss’s original vision.
