The Aura – Okumuki
“Okumuki is the album of an introvert who tells other introverts how it is possible to come out of one's shell, despite the fear of not making it. She does so by welcoming them into her world, inviting them to be part of it, to protect and support them in their journey of self-discovery. It is music that can also and above all speak to the new generations, because it tells of a world in which music was built together, live. It is music that sings of a lost time in which fantasy and dreams were means to better understand reality”
The album composed entirely of The Aurawith the collaboration of Dan Fries for some tracks, in addition to the singles Radio Star And A fairy talethe vinyl also contains two previously unreleased acoustic versions of the songs Unattainable And Todayrecorded together with Gnu Quartet.
