Chaouche - Safe: Instrumentals (2019) [Hi-Res]

Singer/musician/producer Aisha Chaouche shares to the world her debut album Safe, a deeply emotional document of heartbreaking and spine tingling hymns that have helped bring peace to traumatic events experienced earlier in her life. Her delicate piano playing features prominently and is bolstered by balanced production of her own massed vocals, programmed drums, sub-bass, cello, violin and an obsession with reverb and delay.

Safe chronicles events that occured in Aisha's formative years and the catharsis that occurred through her songwriting.

In the initial production of the album, the band created a series of intimate musical soundscapes that are presented here in instrumental form. More than ever, the intricacies and subtleties of these delicate musical offerings can be explored and examined without the grounding centre of a vocal.

Safe was mixed with now live band member Ben Johnson and features updated versions of her singles released to date. Combining vocals, performance on piano and synthesiser with triggered samples and loops; the trio of Aisha, Greg Stoddard and Ben have translated the subtleties of the album to the live stage.

“The overarching theme of my songs is 'healing'. Collectively my songs contribute to a greater understanding of particular issues I found overbearing and traumatising as a child and young adult. Each song is dedicated to a memory or experience that has come from a negative source that’s ultimately been turned into a strength."
