about

During lockdown, while doing the dishes for the 35th time that day, I was listening to the radio and heard this fun, upbeat Whitney Houston song, “I Wanna Dance with Somebody”. I had never listened to it fully before and I was surprised to discover two things:
1. It’s not at all about dancing.
2. It’s actually raw, lonely, and horny, and so beautifully reflective of our collective thirst (see what I did there?) for human touch.
That’s when I knew we’re going to create what I like to call a kintsugi version of it. A version that takes all that hunger and pain and instead of glossing them over, paints them gold.
I’m extremely thankful for my band: Anisa, Leonie and Shai, who so quickly felt what I meant and went there with me.
If you enjoyed our rendition please share it whoever you're missing right now.
We love you.
