Surprise ! Our new single, LADY LIBERTY, dropped today. 🗽 Lady Liberty is a song about the nature of home/belonging and the search for justice and truth. Reworking the poem that is inscribed at the bottom of the Statue of Liberty by Emma Lazarus, we imagined what the physical and poetic symbol of liberty may want to sing if she herself were given the chance. This song is dedicated to all the immigrants and refugees in the world striving to find safe harbor.
