    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

can’t teach the lesson til you’ve learned it
can’t spread the message til you’ve heard it
you take the credit don’t deserve it
the fear you hide i can taste it
oh now, you play the hypocrite i’ll tell you whats right
you might thank me by the end of the fight
you play the hypocrite i’ll tell you whats right
future ain’t written but it is within sight

so when the hypocrite comes to greet you
smilingly deceives you
with promises oh seduces you
you just say no no no, no no
you’ve got to go

you blame the messenger to justify your own pride
hide behind your ignorance you try
the playing field you still define
i’m trying to be on your side
oh now, you ask my expertise
but my needs get a blind eye
i realize you’ve got to make your bottom line
you have a vision i am aiming to serve
not sorry that my truth strikes a wrong nerve

so when the hypocrite comes to greet you
smilingly deceives you
with promises oh seduces you
you just say, no no no, no no
you’ve got to go

so don’t pose like you know
when you know it ain’t so
you can't sell what you owe
cause the skills you don’t own
no don’t pose like you know
when you know it ain’t so
you can't sell what you owe
cause the skills you don’t own
no, you don’t own

you believe all those white lies you sell
but i got truth wright here in my well
you know you wan’t that yeah you wanna tap that
you know you want that yeah, but you can’t

you profit i make you profit
you profit but who’s the prophet now
yeah you profit i make you profit
you profit but who’s the prophet now
yeah you profit, i make you profit
you profit but who’s the prophet now
yeah, woh oh, that you don’t own

can’t teach the lesson til you’ve hear it
can’t spread the message til you’ve heard it
you take the credit don’t deserve it
the fear you hide i can taste it
the fear you hide i can taste it
the fear you hide don’t waste it
