In February 2022, Russia's invasion of Ukraine marked the beginning of a global chaos. People lost their homes and families, becoming refugees. Infrastructure accelerated, and tensions with neighboring countries reached a breaking point. Amidst this chaotic world situation, a question was raised by one individual. This work was created to find the answer.
Leading with the funky, upbeat summer tune "Baby Love Me," which is perfect for the season, followed by "Chocolate," a song questioning the need for diversity in modern society, and "Sing Myself," which carries a rhythm reminiscent of Queen with foot-stomping and hand-clapping, the album features highly meaningful lyrics and a simple, peaceful three-chord structure. It is a work that embodies the key message of the project.
