DEAR READER,
I’m grateful for the opportunity to be able to express myself through this music.
This project, since I started putting it together, has been a soundtrack to a crucial part of my journey as a person and growth over the past two years.
It started out as a project to explore a theme but over time, has opened me up and like a fresh wound, has taught me crucial and valuable lessons: that no matter the phases and periods of confusion and in times when your only wish is to give up and leave your body, there is that little voice that says it gets better.
Learning that in the in-between spaces remember not to panic, trust the process and surrender to the currents as it will lead you to new beginnings.
I’ve learnt that it’s fine to scream it out of your system to find ease in your body; knowing that the process is a period of learning, improvement, creation, collaboration and having an understanding of what matters.
I’ve learnt not to be scared to look inward, to be honest with myself and accept my wrongs and the consequences however hard they come.
Learning that my mistakes don’t define me and that I should extend grace to myself and do so for others.
Learning to not be so hard on myself, that when I feel the rush of negative emotions, I should understand that there's so much life in here that I can make into great things.
I've learnt that the doubts and fears are not real, and to allow myself to accept love and not take it for granted, because love has the power to change you.
This project is a reminder for myself and to that person out there experiencing eerie times that we all go through periods like this and that it does get better.
I held a special listening experience for LIMINAL SPACES before the EP was released with some special people in Accra. Listen back here exclusively on Oroko Radio.
I have been through many ups and downs, especially in 2024 and the only real way I know how to release those emotions is through music; and I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to express myself this way.
My time as an artist thus, is finally culminating in my first project release as 95ANTNY.
LIMINAL SPACES is now yours. I cherish all those who find solace in my music and promise to keep creating the best music I can.
Love, 95
