Here is a bit about 'Wishes':
>>‘Wishes’ is a beautiful relaxation album designed for mindfulness, respite and pure musical enjoyment. ‘Wishes’ is the eagerly anticipated second release from Kindred Calm and comes after their debut release ‘Phases’ has secured hundreds on sales on Amazon. The new album: Wishes’ is a collection of tracks thoughtfully crafted to support intentions such as Happiness, Clarity, and Tranquillity as you listen. The very title encapsulates the spirit of the music, offering listeners a series of gentle aspirations to embrace and nurture. Track names like Whispers, Wondering, and Journey encourage your own wishes to blossom, guiding you towards moments of serenity and awakening.<<
Hooray! We’re feeling extremely pleased with this second release! Just received the hard copies today from the printers and it’s a lovely looking CD album. Really pleased with the artwork and the format has been great to keep the same continuity with the first album, but obviously the new artwork has a completely different feel to it than ‘Phases’. It’s a bright and dreamy looking album with a great feel about it. There are slightly more tracks on this one and it makes it a longer release, which was intentional for us. The track listings are:
1. Whispers
2. Wondering
3. Dreaming
4. Journey
5. Fortitude
6. Clarity
7. Gathering
8. Fortune
9. Happiness
10. Tranquillity
11. Harmony
12. Lullaby
Again, each of the tracks has been led by the imagery and the concept first and then the music has been shaped around it. We’re very excited to share this album with everyone who would like to listen and hope it will be received just as eagerly as Phases has been. Wishes was always meant to an all-encompassing creation of total calm and introspection, as well as providing a space for intentions to flourish whilst you listen. We hope, this being a longer release, people find it even more useful to use in reiki and meditation settings.
The album begins with a gentle intro track called 'Whispers', which is a representation of those whispers of ideas and dreams that are personal to you which maybe haven't quite yet come to fruition. The calming vibes continue on through to 'Journey' which is a track which hopefully takes the mind to a place of change and putting dreams in to action, with 'Fortitude' following up, to give strength and commitment to those dreams. ‘Fortune’ and ‘Happiness’ are tracks with uplifting melodies and inspiring blends of instruments which lends a sense of accomplishment to the album. Lastly ‘Harmony’ and ‘Lullaby’ as the closing tracks to the release, bring the album to a beautiful conclusion using chimes and soothing phrases to create a sense of healing and a feeling of peace.
We’re already planning out the next album and are really excited to try some new ideas with it. One of these being, to have each track as a longer piece of music, hopefully around 6-7 mins each to enable the listener to become ‘lost’ in each track as it continues on – we’ll see how this works out for us! The next release, we think, will be titled: ‘Pathways’.
Thanks for reading this and for your interest.
