Solina

Description

Joy Spheres Rees is the result of the meeting of three essential innovators in contemporary music, who merged their individual sounds for a remarkable collaboration on their first album, "Solina." Allysha Joy, Hidden Spheres, and Finn Rees have together forged a new soundscape that draws its inspirations from Balearic house, street soul, alternative R&B, and jazz. This album is conceptually driven from start to finish, where melodic themes and lyrical mantras intertwine with punchy grooves to create a deeply moving and meditative experience. Combining powerful lyricism, natural musicality, unique production, and the incredible singing of Allysha Joy with the production values and DJing sensibility of Hidden Spheres, refined over more than a decade of music across different labels, genres, and cult releases, all complemented by the synths, keyboards, and expert musicality of Finn Rees, known for his new wave jazz and dance music, and for his significant commitment to artists in the Melbourne/Naarm scene. Personal and poetic, "SOLINA" evokes the desires for connection, both intimate and collective, through the various prisms of romance, spirituality, and connection to nature and oneself. It is the culmination of the deeply honed skills of each member, with Hidden Spheres as the main producer, Finn Rees guiding the harmonic synthesis and the incomparable vocal sound of Allysha Joy, intertwining intimately to create this rich and textured masterpiece ~ a collaborative magnum opus.
