Singer, songwriter, producer, engineer, model and visionary Jahna Sebastian releases the snippet of her new single ‘I Am Real’ off her highly anticipated upcoming album. This will be the follow up to her previously released critically acclaimed album Legends On The Map. ‘I Am Real’ is written, recorded, produced, arranged, performed and mixed by Ms. Sebastian at her studio Multivizion Music. The new single is about projecting her true self and her spiritual power into the world through music and creativity in a way as tangible as nature around us. Ms. Sebastian stated when asked about the thought process when creating new music , “When I was working on my first two albums The Alchemist and Legends on the Map, I went through a time of self-realisation and really stepping into the power of walking my path that I was born to walk. It is a path to empower, enlighten and spread knowledge to the world and to people everywhere. As it goes, to know the true Purpose, it is important to ‘Know Thyself’. On my portrait ‘Unveiled’ drawn by artist Ainur Timergaliev, this is represented by the line above my head and the twelve stars around my head that also symbolise my date of birth and twelve signs of the zodiac, twelve months. The song ‘I Am Real’ is a manifestation to projecting my Purpose in the real world through actions.”
The lyrics to the chorus:
I am real
Like the sun
Like the sea
Like the stars
Like the earth
In the world
You know me
You know my name
Ms. Sebastian admits the new track is also a reference to her stage name Jahna, as the meaning of it in various nations leads to a better world. She says, ” I am unfolding the knowledge I have to help people understand themselves and the universe through the Musical Book I am creating that includes my albums and other works. I am showing my vision in the light of the power of the words, sounds and visuals that I create. Nature is what people need to be connected to again. Modern day civilisation is expanding so fast, but before people can truly go out and colonise other planets in space, that connection between the self and the nature around is important. This song represents that.”
The brilliant songstress new single is deeply personal and self reflective. She uses her past experiences and her deep passion to help people to create an incredible masterpiece, ‘I Am Real’. This beautifully written track will be a game changer and will inspire and touch her fans all around the world.
The art work for her new single was captured from the photo shoot she shot at Rudio Studio with photographers, Tony Hawthorne, Christ Rudio and Richard Epps. Chris Rudio photograghed the actual photo for the singles’s artwork. She is wearing a traditional hairstyle as single braid, that she has been wearing all her life as well as ankh earrings by Afrio-Rize to symbolise life and in association with the meaning of her new single. Her make up was beat by Ash Allen @fleekyfaceand nails. When asked about the significance of her single braid, Ms. Sebastian stated, “It is known also as the Russian braid and it symbolises the three dimensions of the world: ‘Yav’, ‘Prav’, ‘Nav’, which are the physical world, the astral world and the heaven. The Russian braid is an ancient tradition as long hair in this hairstyle appear in many myths and legends, the female characters wear it and usually it is associated with different actions taken within those fairy tales, that have been told over the generations. The braid is not just a protective style, but also has been playing a big part in the traditions and culture, days of the year associated with the celebrations and the sun. “
Ms. Sebastian’s new single is both thought provoking and deeply passionate, take a listen and you will be deeply mesmerized by her beautiful voice, lyrics and wordplay.
