Shake had emerged from a hulking black truck a few minutes past noon, flanked by close associates – Bharata Selassie (aka 070 Cine), a school-friend-turned-collaborator from New Jersey, and Sean Solymar, a producer who helped her navigate the Wyoming studio sessions responsible for “Ghost Town” and “Violent Crimes.” Hailing from North Bergen, a township in the upper region of New Jersey, she’s known for curating tripped-out sonic experiences that feel one-third music, one-third existential crisis, and one-third hip-hop-infused Dark Side of the Moon. "Really, I have to be drunk to get there, though, so I don't know if it's true."
With a reserved chuckle, she jumped to modify her statement. “Yeah, but I can have my extroverted moments, too," she said through a steely gaze, mulling over whether she considered herself to be withdrawn. A few hours ago at a homely vegan restaurant in Brooklyn, she broke the dynamic down between languid forkfuls of Caesar salad and mozzarella sticks. The first song of her set has just come to an end, and the spotlights illuminating her 5'5 frame are the only visible light source on the stage as she retreats towards the curtains and takes a long swig from a bottle of wine. There are also three larger-than-life beams fixed from above on the wiry, leather-clad silhouette of 070 Shake.

The album was mixed and mastered by Mike Dean, who 070 Shake used as a litmus test to know when a song is completely finished, trusting his creative vision to tie off such hyper-personal songs. You Can’t Kill Me was introduced through the lead singles “Skin and Bones,” “Body” featuring Christine and the Queens, and “Web.” Throughout the record, 070 Shake explores the complexities of emotional investment, withdrawal, codependency and more through the lens of complicated interpersonal relationships. You Can’t Kill Me was executive produced by 070 Shake herself, alongside Dave Hamelin, and is the follow up to 2020’s Modus Vivendi.
