Idag har den danska artisten Victoria Akua släppt den vackert svävande låten Surrender. Det är hennes tredje singel i ordningen. Singeln motar bort jobbiga tankar och försöker ta flera kliv bort från rädslan. Livet är till för att omfamnas och överraskas. Hennes röst tar låten över berg, upp till livets musikaliska toppar. Fantastiskt. Idag gästar Victoria serien "Fem album" och Spotify-länkar till albumen, där det är möjligt, hittar ni genom att klicka på det specifika albumets titel.
Sam Garrett is one of the artists who has inspired me the most, both musically and in life. His music reminds me of joy, peace, self-love, and connection - an energy I hope to bring through in my own music. I feel so at home in his sound and the way he blends healing mantras into his songs alongside his English lyrics.
Experiencing him live was one of the biggest influences, that gave me the courage to move forward with my own music.
Alexander Grandjean - Chasing Silence (2024)
Chasing Silence is the album I’ve listened to most over the last year! There isn’t much music that I almost always feel like listening to – but this album is an exception. The rootedness and direct connection to nature in Alexanders songs helps me relax and bring more ease into my everyday life, with all of its ups and down.
The sound, acoustic guitars and soft vocals is a huge inspiration for me musically!!
I am so grateful to have Alexanders inspiring energy in my team, as he is also the producer of my songs.
Woven Kin - Hibernate (2021)
This album weaves earthy, natural yet ethereal sounds with a deep sense of healing together, which I feel very at home in. I recognize myself a lot in these two young women creating music that includes also their spiritual nature.
It’s an album that reminds me of being in nature, and giving time for digestion and slowing down. Periods where I feel like cocooning and listening more to my inner world and less to the outer world.
In these periods I’m very selective of what music I take in - Hibernate has felt like a warm embrace, supporting me in grounding myself. It just feels and sounds so natural for me.
Deva Premal & Miten - A Deeper Light (2013)
These two beautiful people feels like my “musical parents”. I’ve listened to Deva and Miten’s music since I was 15 - but I feel like they’ve always been with me. The way they share love and healing is actually indescribable. Especially being a part of their live-concerts where thousands of people in the crowd becomes a part of the band - singing mantras together. This has to be experienced…!
Deva and Miten’s music was my first meeting with sacred music and it has influenced me a lot in finding my own voice.
MARO - hortelã (2023)
MARO’s soft and airy vocals and the acoustic guitars… WOW! hortelã gives me a sense of a mellow lightness. I love the fact that I don’t understand the words she sings - I can just let go of the mind and float into the soft universe of her music.
