I was clicking away on Spotify, when I suddenly heard this GEM of a song by Kolinga. Kept listening. And again. What a voice. What emotional depth.
Kolinga writes about this track: ‘This is the most necessary song I have ever written. In the midst of perinatal grief, while I was still bleeding, these are the words and sounds I needed to put down. Amidst the taboo, the pain, the guilt that we are told never to feel. I wanted to bring all these emotions to life, to freeze them forever, not only for myself but also for all those who couldn’t do it, all those who no one wanted to listen to. This song is also for that wonderful soul who did me the honor of accompanying me on this journey, a request for forgiveness on behalf of our societies that violently reject everything that cannot be seen. All this, in the most complete vulnerability of just a guitar and a voice.’
