    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 got caught up trying to prove
when i do i always loose myself

i take these stolen moments and i revel in myself
time is wealth, time is wealth

i ran circles around thoughts
but the only thing that taught was to run
away from feelings never deceiving
unless the elixir i was drinking was to numb
i tried on other’s truths
but that never seemed to sooth my health
i got caught up trying to prove
when i do i always loose myself

i take these stolen moments & i revel in myself
time is wealth, time is wealth

i tell myself you are the power
I tell myself you are the glory


i got caught up trying to prove
when i do i always loose myself
