A note from Sylvia…
I’ve long wanted to bridge the gap musically between my early hits and the music I’m making today. I’ve lived a lot of life since then and wanted to re-imagine those songs and breathe new life into them with that added perspective. What a beautiful experience it has been! Whether you are familiar with this music in its original form or hearing it for the first time, I hope you’ll enjoy the spirit of the music that I feel is just as relevant today as it was when these songs first bloomed!
