You Can Only Live When You Die
Poggy wrote the song and reached out to me with a demo of guitar and vocals. I then transformed the demo into an electronic soundscape by adding instrumentation and producing the track. Finally, Frank added trumpet and Jorge added Tres. The song is about reinventing oneself to be a better person. To make an inner change that results in social change when reflecting that transformation back on the world. The lyrics are symbolic of letting go of what you know and opening your heart to something that reflects the innate capacity to love and heal.

This song is about finding a better way to be, having explored all the 'dead end roads' in ones life. Its about finding peace and meaning out of chaos and suffering, and learning from our mistakes, paving the way for more compassionate and intuitive choices for ourselves and the world. The overall feeling the song emenates is one of over riding peace and harmony, elevating the listener above undertones of conflict and chaos, which are surrendering and unravelling beneath the surface, revealing unity, This song is an appeal to the heart.

Save The World
This is a piece of art for the Earth and a statement of our readiness to save our dear Planet. The song has a native appeal of Afro-Cuban rhythm fused with Pop/Dance and Folk style drama. Initiated by myself (Collekta), I intimated Marshall-Muze about it and the soul in the music. To achieve depth, the project needed a female touch what it received by the vocal of Poggy and the poetic consciousness of Akwasi Marley. A gentle reminder that there's no Planet B for humans. We can only Save The World if we do it together!
