"These songs were written while venturing into the unknown, through changes, loss and awakening and includes every aspect of that journey, all of it; the most painful, the most ugly, the most beautiful, the most inspiring, which is what we all experience to get through to the other side." ~ Nadïne
Featuring 11 original tracks mixing blues, jazz, rock, Caribbean roots and experimental; weaving lyrics in French, Haitian Kreyol, German and Swahili, creating a unified sound across a chronicle of songs about transforming adversity into light.
True to the initial vision, experimentation was the main guiding force, both in instrumentation and studio production; welcoming in surprises and evolving through the recording process.
