    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 just dig your vibe, your expansive mind
how your sad eyes shine, won’t you spend time with me
won’t you spend some time

you’re like sunrise after pulse of night
palms wave gold doves purr in flight
your stride a bounce ready to fight
souljah of cease fire ignite
higher through you amplify
like a telescope you magnify
when you let me into where you hide
i just bask in your sweet vibe
bright knight among thieves with alibis
who steal your praise yet still you shine
press story to page griot magi
stimulate my drive to shake lies
you my ultimate i won’t debate
when the jealous ones they can’t relate
master of agitate
crafting a world of better fate
won’t you spend some time

i just dig your vibe, your expansive mind
how your sad eyes shine, won’t you spend time with me
won’t you spend some time

but in solitude we cultivate
under pressure heat encapsulate
new fire to articulate in service to the magistrate
but do you register when the diamonds bust
on the thrill of hush i’m wondrous
the way you feel is glorious
so why you hide in allusion
my body body needs some loving lovely
ready to be yummy give me all your honey
from inside i wind you the river bed
i lay it down we both get fed
i’m the wild one you the moving sun
we perfect union time elusive one
but i believe we can carve time out
if we both kick the habit doubt
we could spend some

i just dig your vibe, your expansive mind
how your sad eyes shine, won’t you spend time with me
won’t you spend some time
