Namakau Star, no stranger to reinvention this multifaceted musical force has come back stronger than ever with a tribute to authenticity and freedom, dreamily packaged in a 7 track EP, titled LANDING released through Paradise Sound Systems.
Landing is an EP that brings one’s soul on a voyage of discovery: exploring the human heart and the mind through its songs. Tracks such as Seazn Luv explore Namakau Star’s sensuality in a carefree yet honest tone, expressing love and desire without shame or inhibitions wrapped up in sensual melodies and afro beats.
Another track on the EP Rewind is a conversation with the self about past romantic experiences, with self-reflection and nostalgia accompanied by smooth vocals and neo-soul sounds. The track ‘Rewind’ is a gentle reminder of the healing process of a broken heart.
“Don’t forget to bear witness to your own beauty and your own journey: be present enough to see how far you’ve come and be present enough to enjoy who you are becoming, who you are right now,” expresses Namakau Star.
