Vivid Dreams - Liminal Sketches opending prose: My lovers dream is a cave that anoints its own tragedy First love like the desire of a setting Sun A silence that sings its own - my lovers name is a secret. Chorus: I found love in an empty room It echoed truths I couldn't face Like silly juice Made me shake all my burden hues James blues That Baldwin (repeat) Verse 1: Summer nights with cold wine Sweet sighs It’s a love high I’m not running that way today (not running that way today) Chorus: I found love in an empty room It echoed truths I couldn't face Like silly juice Made me shake all my burden hues James blues That Baldwin (repeat) Verse 2: Don’t fall in love too easily The beautiful ones will trick with ease Don’t lose your mind to these mc’s Rhyming just a sort of release Release (repeat crescendo x2) Outro chorus: I found love in an empty room (empty room *echoed* x2) It made me shake all my burden hues James blues (crescendo) closing prose: Under the stars Laying beside you You told me tales of your times You caressed my soul with your softness Reassured my heart that You were the one

about

The work was an honest and open expression of my own experiences, shortcomings, moments of clarity and growth. The music was received well, especially ‘Vivid Dreams’ and ‘Love Six’. The EP is made up of four songs, an airterlude (interlude) and bonus track featuring the guitar skills of Bongeziwe Mabandla. I think there are some sounds that are quite unique and a little harder to digest for the South African audience, but I’ve found that many people are enjoying these experimental choices and they seem to have connected a lot with the emotionally charged tunes. ‘Libalele (pray)’ has been the main dance/turn up tune for most of my listeners who seem pleasantly surprised by the electro/dance sound that isn’t usually associated with a jazz-soul singer like me, but the collaboration with Spoek Mathambo on the song made it so easy to transcend into that sonic realm.
