fountain Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Quote CLOSE YOUR EYES Today the first single from my new album is released and it's called 'Innocence of sound' along with its Swedish version 'Allting vill rinna ut i sand'. The album is called CLOSE YOUR EYES is a sequel to BLUE (2014). It's about how to dream in a dark time and how to be someone like me, an artist who feeds off of that ability for a living. How to get to a state of hopefulness, euphoria, sorrow in a time where the world seems less and less connected to other humans, to nature and to our future. I needed to make this album right now. How I find music, when made from the heart, still after working as an artist for 20 years, is a core element in my life. How crooked the view of music's value is now even though it's soundtracking our daily lives and can get us through the toughest of times. The album was made through 2023 which was a heavy year personally. People that I love are suffering, life has been really serious midst hard work and little rest, I spent a lot of time alone with my child during periods, so all awake vacant hours during the nights became a time for writing and recording as my baby has been sleeping. I've needed to get back to feeling whatever the incredible feeling I get when music is fun to make and listen to. And I did. Thanks to my community I was able to keep creating my worlds undisturbed. I've been more interested to explore my native language lately and with this I wrote a version of the album in Swedish called 'BLUND', both albums to be released on midsummers eve. sequel to her 2014 album BLUE, out on June 21st also a Swedish version of the album called 'BLUND' first single, innocence of sound: Edited Wednesday at 02:09 PM by fountain 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
