Sam and I are overjoyed to share this new mix with you: “Open Up Your Heart”. This song was birthed while Sam and I were improvising during a live set. We have had many special opportunities to explore this improvisational space together and in this particular session, these simple yet profound lyrics landed through Sam and deeply touched me. I decided to follow the general idea and we developed it into this song. We then invited our dear sister Matia Kalli to offer her incredible vocals to the mix. It has been one of my favorites to share live over the last year in my sets all around the world. It’s incredible to see how it opens people up to receive more love as we drop deeper into the present moment together.
