The Balance by Abdullah Ibrahim

"We push ourselves out of our comfort zones. So that we can present to the listener our striving for excellence. So that we can engage with our listeners without any barriers of our ego. It's not jazz. For us, it's a process of transcending barriers." ~ Abdullah Ibrahim

Liza's latest single “He is, I am” is a stripped-back folk song that explores the quiet doubts in a fading relationship, carrying the moments where honesty is withheld to preserve closeness. Recorded direct to tape in North London, the track reconnects Liza with her folk roots, drawing inspiration from Nick Drake and Joni Mitchell while carving her own intimate sound.
