thewickedmagician I really see myself and my experiences in this album. Flight 1082 is just one example. It captures that feeling of moving somewhere newer and bigger with all its fears and anxieties, but also the hopeful parts. Favorite track: Flight 1082.

squamtastic I've had this album on repeat since I got it. These are exactly the vibes we need as a society right now. Soulful, spiritual, down-to-earth, and in your feelings music. Pure magic. Favorite track: PROOF.

malcolmrashaad Ariel J. speaks to the culture, the misfits, and everyone in between. This piece of literature is a true masterpiece, offering profound insights into the meaning of life and what it means to live authentically and unapologetically. I have no doubt that she will continue to be a guiding light for us all. Wishing her many blessings.

about

CLOSE TO THE SUN𖤓 is a trip through a metaphysical labyrinth, where reality is fluid, and the path to salvation or understanding is uncertain. It's a blend of spiritual searching, social commentary, and the internal battle between despair and hope. I hope that this album serves as a reminder to each listener that you were born free, magical, brilliant, powerful, loving, and imperfectly human. I love you, and thank you for listening.
