traveled,” she stated.

Each song is unique, encapsulating my thoughts, melodies, and a truckload of
nostalgia,” she added.
The album includes collaborations with popular artistes from
various parts of the world, covering themes of femininity, style, dance,
motivation, liberation, and consciousness.

of Queens’, ‘Mama Africa’, ‘Black Magic’, ‘Woman of Steel’, and ‘Empress’.
