You know those times that move you to your knees and leaves you there for a while. You've been there too, I know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile deep in prayer and meditation these songs came about. A mixture of R\u0026amp;B and Kirtan. A mixture of defiance and gratitude. A mixture of genres that aren't usually paired. A mixture of raw ethereal joy packaged in my heart. Musically the chanting was always with me but rarely did they accompany me out loud into a microphone once the needle is dropped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn Awakening, I dropped the needle on what was happening on a soul level and I take you on a journey into the caves of my musical background.

Kind of packed away and hidden from each other. They were like two forbidden lovers who longed to be together. I worried about what you would think if you knew my secret songs. If you heard my secret songs. If you felt my secret songs. If you would approve of my secret songs. The songbird came out of the cage knowing that the time was ripe to be authentic, to be pure, to unite the sacred lyrics with the forbidden beats that longed to hold and carry them into the unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ezinaa","offers":[{"title":"12.00","offer_id":7161018220603,"sku":"PX00ZUZ8J9","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0016\/3033\/9131\/products\/AWAKENING-Album-Cover-2.png?v=1571759191"},{"product_id":"glambitious-album","title":"Glambitious Album","description":"","brand":"Ezina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7161019105339,"sku":"2000","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0016\/3033\/9131\/products\/GlambitiousCDCoverFinal.jpg?v=1599155756"},{"product_id":"grace-album","title":"GRACE Album","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/playlists\/347466721\u0026amp;color=%233cb5b5\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLos Angeles, CA -- September 6, 2017--\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, world music artist Ezina announces her newest project--a CD\/book combo titled Grace to be released on September 9.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection of inspirational stories and lessons learned on her spiritual journey will be Ezina’s tenth print publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Grace album marks Ezina’s sixth independent studio release and will feature nine new songs, along with a special re-recording of her top single, “Wake, Pray, Meditate, Slay.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhile it's evident that world beats, Rock, R\u0026amp;B and funk grooves have always been an inspiration to her music, in Grace, Ezina explores various landscapes, both physical and emotional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFusing new age funk into prayers, Sikh chants, Hindu mantras, Buddhist mantras, and yoga, Ezina transports the listener through a modern kaleidoscope of mystical music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ezinaa","offers":[{"title":"12.00 \/ 14.00 \/ 20.00","offer_id":7161019531323,"sku":"PX00ZMTPT5","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0016\/3033\/9131\/products\/GRACE_ALBUM_COVER_final.jpg?v=1571759191"},{"product_id":"power-of-a-woman-album","title":"Power of A Woman Album","description":"\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/playlists\/95094661\u0026amp;color=%233cb5b5\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower of a woman is for every woman who has ever been in a relationship of any kind that didn’t measure up. A relationship where upset, disrespect and neglect were stuck on repeat. The pain so overbearing yet you continued to look back and recount the days, months or years you’ve invested in this relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower of A Woman was written and recorded after September 11, 2001. When those World Trade Center Towers came falling down, my world crashed along with it. All relationships in my life began to crumble. Marriage, false friendships and family frameworks came unhinged. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI wrote this album to heal my own world as well as that of my closest circle of sister-friends and now I want to share it with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower of A Woman is for you if…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou have held on to the memories of good times for so long until you can barely remember the details. You cannot recall the last time anything positive was done in your honor or in appreciation for the time and efforts that you have given. You cannot even remember the last time that you felt happy. You have recently blown up at someone, kicked them out, walked out of a situation you could no longer bear or all of the above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower of A Woman is about healing. Healing as only a woman can. There is lots of raw pain and disdain in the refrain of these songs. You can hear, that I have been there. I “went there” on a lot of the tracks so that you can safely go there too. Get it out. Get it all out! Scream, Cry, Shout! Then get physical. Dance, Run, Bike or Sing at the top of your lungs. Move it out of your body. Movement helps to move the pain out fast. Shake your butt now. Swing those hips. Jump on a trampoline, Jump Rope, Hula hoop or Power walk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key is to get the anger out. The anger for staying too long. The anger for throwing pearls before swine. Anger for not seeing the signs and anger for not following your intuition. When all of the anger is out, you throw the royal F-Bomb. Not that one:), I’m talking about forgiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForgiveness of self and forgiveness of the other person or people in your drama. When you release the F-Bomb it brings with it, cleansing and transmutation. I’m sure you are wanting to light the negative one right now but hang tight, once you get through this cycle you are going to be vibrating at such a high level that you will glow with positivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cycle of true healing goes something like this. Hurt, pain, anger, forgiveness then finally healing. You can move quickly through all of the levels or you can take your time and marinate in each one. I went through it and I am telling you that the longer you sit in hurt, pain, and anger, the longer it will take you to forgive and to move on to the life that you want. Once you get to Forgiveness, you will feel an opening like never before. The karmic debt will be paid not just you but for everyone in your path. Your glow will heal people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs women, we sometimes simmer silently in the shame of the game. You are not alone. There are other women who have gone or are going through the same thing. As you listen to these songs you will hear that I have been there too. In the darkest hour during your river of tears please know that you Are a powerful woman. The power of a woman can NEVER be contained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are currently experiencing darkness, not feeling respected or heard, listen to Power of A Woman daily. Allow the words to soothe you and to build you back up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need to validate your anger, listen to Scream, Had Me or Damsel. \u003cbr\u003eIf you just need to cry, listen to Butterfly Blues or Never Trust A Man.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs your anger lessens, listen to Same Ole Music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlay these songs as often as needed to help you heal.

Bands like U2, Heart, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Fleetwood MAC, Living Color, Cameo and musicians like Joan Jett, Joan Armatrading, Melissa Etheridge and Bonnie Raitt came into her living room and left her exhilarated and dying to own her very own guitar. \"I wanted to be the female Jimi Hendrix\", she says. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer first independent release- Tempted - only hints at this new world.
