The album starts off with the track “Remember Your Love”, a song that feels like a call from the heavens with Gilla’s strong belt and spiritual influence. When it comes to the instruments in her music, Gilla said, “Since that first time of revelation the same divine magic was happening with every musical instrument that I was holding in my hands. Especially with exotic, far east instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, chimes, shaman drums, shruti box. They have become my loyal musical companions”. She is able to take different elements of music and bend them to her will in order to create her angelic music.

Another track from the album, “Ecoute La Terre” (French for “listen to the earth”) uses driving congos and other percussion in order to create the backdrop for Gilla’s singing. It really feels like a chant for change, complete with interjections from what sounds like a choir. Raphaela Gilla is able to use her passion for music as a vessel for her teachings in a way that works so beautifully, it is honestly inspiring.
