about
"To re-emerge, you must first dive in.
Retain, let go, touch the bottom, then come to the surface.
Feel the space, feel the moment, listen to your body.
Become desert, occupy the void, pass through yourself, expand.
Buoyancy is the upward force that allows a body to surface when immersed in water, the element that is everchanging, while always preserving its essence." - Naima Faraò
Water as an archetype is the vital and cathartic element that captures the essence of change and transformation. With "Buoyancy Of Water," Naima Faraò dives into an adventurous, deep and emotional journey that blends contemporary jazz, alternative soul and RnB, inviting you to explore the concept of renaissance and emergence. The embracing sound of woodwinds, Rhodes resonances, rhythmic pulsation and electronic textures intertwine with the enchanting vocals and evocative lyrics of Naima, leading a multi- talented lineup featuring the exceptional participation of the saxophonist Ilhan Ersahin.
lyrics
BUOYANCY OF WATER
The desert rarely cries
And that’s why its eyes
Are full of salt, full of salt
The desert rarely cries
It holds back its tears
Full of salt, full of salt
I floated in these eyes
It was impossible to sink
I was trying to go down
But they pushed me hard upwards
The more descend I try
The more I want to rise
The mystery that sprouts the seeds
Am I the desert crying or am I floating in its eyes?
Full of salt, full of salt
I floated in these eyes
It was impossible to sink
I was trying to go down
But they pushed me hard upwards
I floated in these eyes
It was impossible to sink
I was trying to go down
But they pushed me hard upwards
Buoyancy of water
