I originally intended this song to be about Moses, from the perspective of God's love for him. The Angel of the Lord spoke to Moses, at the burning bush, choosing him in spite of his own imperfections for what had to be a lonely mission. Then I started thinking about Saeed Abedini, imprisoned in Iran. The song really became about him. Again, from the perspective of a Father who doesn't run from pain. Instead, he knows it. He knows suffering, and does not abandon us. This is posted with permission from Naghmeh Abedini. She asks you to continue to pray for her family. Thank you to my friend Sean Moody for collaborating with me on this. We're moving from California soon, and I will miss Sean and our conversations dearly.

Live and acoustic from STAR 102.5's Acoustic Lounge.

Not Enough Sensation

The latest offering from the ever-changing artist behind last year's afro-futurist album, 'Metallic Butterfly.' This time around, she's gone disco and given up the Princess Nokia moniker for the name Destiny. 'Honeysuckle' is bright, optimistic, feminist, socially conscious, and filled with a whole lot of soul.
