NAIA is a global experimental collaboration between vocalist Malena Perez (P-Vine, Mobilee, Objektivity) and electronica/bass producers FIRST AID, Stiver, blacksix and Godfather Sage. Moody, reflective and deep, the first release is a four-track downtempo EP infused with soulful, melancholic vocals, expansive chords and driving basslines. Thematically, NAIA explores the shadow side of human emotion while planting seeds of healing.
lyrics
when the curtains have closed
it will be too late for retribution
when the curtains have closed
it will be too late, too late for retribution
when the curtains have closed
they're still calling you home
they're still calling you home
they're still calling you home
they're still calling you home
but when the curtains have closed
it will be too late for retribution
when the curtains have closed
it will be too late
they're still calling you home
they're still calling you home
they're still calling you home
they're still calling you home
they're still calling you home
they're still calling you home
