BACK TO THE ROOTS

The Pandemic Album

 

What if in the world

We never live in fears

Doing all we want 

And then we disappear 

 

Can you hear me now

I see you

Taking you by the hands

I'll give you mine

​

- From the title Take It Straight from My Heart -

​

During the COVID lockdowns and curfews, my longing to return to the piano became overwhelming, inspiring me to write new material and rework some old songs. Although the original plan to finish all the tracks didn't fully materialize, we decided to leave some as simple piano-and-vocal pieces, capturing a fresh, unguarded sound and a renewed connection with the keys.

​

New original tracks include "Touched Again" and "Take it Straight from the Heart," while "Closer" and "Universe" now sound more complete than ever.
