• 60 - Adja : singing through the system, dreaming beyond it

  Step into the world of Adja Fassa, the Brussels-based artist behind the genre-defying debut album Golden Retrieve Her. Released after her well-received EP IRONEYE, Adja’s new album is a powerful reflection on the impact of capitalism on our most intimate moments. Through eleven tracks, she explores themes of conditional friendships, societal pressures, and the pursuit of kindness in a harsh world. With a mix of neo-soul, jazz, and rock influences, Adja’s music boldly confronts complex issues, all while embracing the magic of self-expression and mysticism.✨ What to Expect:🌍 The Concept: Golden Retrieve Her explores the emotional toll of living in a capitalist society, from surreal vignettes to poetic reflections on human connection.🎶 Musical Style: A unique blend of neo-soul, jazz, and rock that intertwines sharp social commentary with heartfelt moments of vulnerability.💡 Creative Process: Insights into the making of the album, her work with collaborators like Alexis Nootens, Adam Scrimshire, and Koen Gisen, and the role of mysticism in her music.🔮 Symbolism and Tarot: Adja opens up about the four self-designed tarot cards that guide the album’s themes and how they represent the journey through social resistance and self-discovery.🎤 Music as Resistance: How Adja uses music as both a critique of societal structures and a tool for healing, embracing softness in the face of harshness.We discuss the inspirations behind Golden Retrieve Her, the creative process that led to its bold sound, and how Adja’s art challenges and heals in equal measure.The informations about Adja are on her Instagram page.👉 Tune in to hear how Adja Fassa is singing through the system and dreaming beyond it.Credits:- 3:34 - Adja Fassa - A Moment- 18:25 - Adja Fassa - Sucking on my Emphatitties- 32:07 - Adja Fassa - Sound of a Mother- 50:41 - Adja Fassa - Package Delivered by Tomorrow- 1:10:52 - Adja Fassa - Rest Our HeartsThank you for tuning in to this episode of JazzXploration!
