    Replicated CD comes in a high gloss sleeve made from recycled materials. Liner notes and lyrics at www.sariyahidan.com/breaking-shadows-liner-notes

    Recorded in Los Angeles, Berlin and Lisbon, with an array of some 27 musicians, the music draws from Sariyah's influences and ancestors blending nu-soul with klezmer horns, hip hop and reggae groove with Sariyaha's Spanish guitar. The songs of ​Breaking Shadows​ are confessional, confrontational, social and spiritual. They present a woman's reflections on love, power, patriarchy, and purpose. Across its 17 tracks, ​Breaking Shadows addresses some of the profound struggles of our age. #MeToo (‘Refuge In Blue’, ‘Temple’) and social justice (‘Truth To Power’, ‘Claim Your Gods’) are of the most politically significant, but of no less importance are the complexities and corruptions of human relationships (‘You Got to Go’, ‘That Woman’), the transformational devotion of romance (‘Can We’, ‘Vibe’) and, ultimately, self-purpose and self-love (‘Shine’, ‘Revel’).

    “Musically layered and emotionally rich, the smouldering track(s) showcase the New York-bred, L.A.-based artist’s ability to seamlessly combine a wide variety of disparate styles and sonics into a memorable sound all her own.”

lyrics

that other woman, she ain’t no good for you
the way she treats your body, ain’t like i do
she toxifies your blood, so that your beauty mind can’t think
the way that i love you, praises up all you be

so let me love you
you know you know that i do
let me love you
do you think that i can’t with my light hue
let me love you
you know you know that i do
let me love you
let my love, my love get through

you’re under pressure from everyone around
expecting you to be someone other than the you you’ve found
you’re not predator or HBCU star, you got ideas of your own
i just want to stand by you, celebrate what you grow

so let me love you
you know you know that i do
let me love you
do you think that i can’t with my light hue
let me love you
you know you know that i do
let me love you
let my love, my love get through

you know you can trust me boo
what must i do to get through to you
the walls you build between us
you push me away but i know you don’t mean it
i know you got your demons dude
i got a few too
but one day we can surely rest
in arms of mutual respect
but she’s got a hold on you
she’s a beautiful bitch and i don’t blame you
but she’s killing you softly with her calming hands
i’m jealous but not why i make these demands
someone’s got to get through to you
you’re dulling your brilliance deception’s hue
if not for me than for your seeds
let her go let her go please

& let me love you
you know you know that i do
let me love you
do you think that i can’t with my light hue
let me love you
you know you know that i do
let me love you
let my love, my love get through

that other woman, she ain’t no good for you
let me love you, do you think i can’t with my light hue
that other woman, no no she ain't no good
let me love you
let my love, my love get through
