The album “Still Standing” delves into themes of fractured relationships, emotional endurance, and the raw complexity of the human condition.

Balancing the darker themes are pieces like “Align with Nature” and “Fly Away,” offering moments of introspection and a search for inner peace.

Featuring eight tracks, “Still Standing” weaves together saxophone-driven melodies and layered percussive arrangements to create a cohesive narrative arc. Through the fusion of traditional African instrumentation with modern electronic textures, the album refuses to be confined to one genre, showcasing a rich and diverse sound experience unlike any other.
