Mentions of ‘sun’ and ‘water’ transcend the danger of cliché since the track cuts through as dearly authentic, while the melding of mellifluous verses and heavenly choruses set against a thematic backdrop of rebirth and revitalisation pushes the song’s design into the realm of the allegorical. Somehow, there’s also room for a spoken word hip-hop bridge.

You can listen to the track now on all major streaming platforms.
