First single of my album 'Unlocked' - release date: 22 September 2023

lyrics

The way we wake today beside the dunes:
Wave after wave that the low horizon’s losing.
There’s a song in the way the first light moves,
When the golden dawn from the ocean
first rolls over your eyes…

And the world is a world of notch and groove,
In the gold and blue of a turning timeless music.
It’s the way that we learn to live in tune,
Wake with the sand as bed
and you let the dunes roll over your life…

It’s only life;
It’s not for clinging to.
The morning shines for the people who are singing to it.

I found my light
In the shade of the waving and moving sand,
And the dunes are given for dancing.

Look at this life of sand and sea:
This life’s a shining light.
Dunes never move by the beat;

Look at this life of fantasy.
This life’s a trick of the light;
Waves never fall for the beat.

This life is me and you.
Who’s wrong if we’re all right?
Sand never shifts out of tune
Giving in to the dunes.

He’s a knife in the butter of the day.
He’s a dance in the shade and a nap in the sun he ran from.
Calm is something you can’t chase;
He tells me now he’s looked away
He thinks he’s found the light.

It’s only life:
It’s ours for singing to.
The morning shines with what the people are bringing to it.

I found my light
in the way of the waving and moving sand,
And the dunes are given to dancing…

Look at this life of sand and sea.
This life’s a shining light;
Dunes never move out of beat.

Look at this life of fantasy:
This life’s a trick of the light.
Waves never break for the beat:

This life is you and me.
What’s left if they’re all right?
Sand never shifts out of key –

This life is me and you:
Who’s wrong if we’re all right?
The sun never rises too soon,
Giving into the dunes.

Her 2023 album ‘Unlocked’ brings together 80s synth pop, alt-R&B and swelling basses in a digital yet poetic dream world. ... more
