Five. Grace. The still point of Siphr. A transition.
lyrics
I open my eyes a little too fast
Starting to forget the dream that sung me here
I get out of bed looking for a paper trail
of reflections that remind me of who I am
There will be a voice behind you saying
"this is the way"
Don't look to the right
Don't look to the Left
You may here a thousand voices calling you another way
But you will know the heavenly sound calling your name
My eyes on the prize
My mind on the spirt
Letting go of all the shame that took root in me/
It's easy to get pulled back into familiar chains
But I cast away all the fear and let love rain
There will be a voice behind you saying
"this is the way"
Don't look to the right
Don't look to the Left
You may here a thousand voices calling you another way
But you will know the heavenly sound calling your name
Calling your name/Calling your name/Calling your name/Calling your name

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
