SEEN is a 14-track body of work that explores what emotional and physical safety mean for women+ in a world largely shaped through a masculine lens. Musically, the album moves through Jazz, Neo-Soul, Reggae, and Afro-Jazz with West African influences. While the vocals and melodic textures often feel soft and gentle, a firm undertone lives in the bass, drums, and lyrical intensity, symbolizing that strength and softness are not opposites, but sisters.
