    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

i’ve been beaten & bruised, misnamed & misused
til even i have been confused seek refuge in blues
darkness keeps pursuing me, i forget to have clear policy
the demons keep exhausting me, through the ages deceiving me

clouding my eyes, from what is right
clouding my eyes from what is right
i can’t see right
i can’t see

man has swallowed the illusion that there’s strength in separation
he’s entitled to domination but he also becomes victim
hollow eyes reveal their fear as they ravage any love near
& we forget to hold them dear default ablutions with our tears

clouding our eyes, from what is right
clouding our eyes, from what is right
i don’t see right
no i don’t see

with hungry fingers on my power
my sex they try to devour

cause they’ve been beaten & bruised misnamed & misused
even they have been confused then seek refuge in out blues
darkness keeps pursuing we forget to have clear policy
the demons reflect brilliantly though the ages been deceiving

clouding our eyes, from what is right
clouding our eyes from what is right
no we i don’t see right
we don’t see
when will we?
