Transcendence
In just a few years, singer-songwriter Aisha Badru has gone from living in a low-income neighborhood in Yonkers, NY to creating her own oasis in the outskirts of Orlando, FL, replete with two ponds and a food garden, fruit trees and butterflies, birds and bees. This transformation is nothing short of stunning, which Badru recounts ever-so-gorgeously on her latest EP Transcendence, a release that’s at turns intimate and inspiring. At the heart of Transcendence lies “Soil’s Daughter,” a wispy hymn with earthy vocals, reflecting on the disconnect between us as a people and us with the planet.
