about

In 2020 I came to recognise even more that the only certainty in life is change and that relationships with family and friends are incredibly important, and must be nurtured. I’ve also come to more deeply appreciate my ability to create as an artist and have been really energised with the recent collaborations I have been a part of, some coming about because creatives have especially wanted to reach out during these testing times. For me 2021 will be a year where I will extend those collaborations and share my artistry as I delve into new ways of connecting with fans, friends and loved ones particularly with the possibility of lockdown continuing for an extended period of time.
This EP is an inspiring coupling of songs that I hope will lift your spirits for the start of a new year.

Even at 80 years old, Pharoah Sanders played his tenor sax with the conviction of a gospel preacher. Every second of this album is arrestingly beautiful. As far as I'm concerned, this is essential listening for anyone who considers themselves a fan of music. 3sidesinasquare
