“This album is a collection of songs that tries to convey the feelings of the past two years. The wish is to find a connection with you, no matter where you are in the world, whether it’s flying high or feeling like you’re the only ship out on the ocean.If you’re navigating the pain of forgiveness and the weight that comes with holding onto resentment, if you’ve lost confidence in yourself and you’re trying to find a way back to your spark, spirit and hope, this is for you. Let your heart lead. I’m with you in every step”.
