INTRINSIC (album) by Climbing PoeTree
Climbing PoeTree's new collection of rebel-rousing anthems, bilingual ballads, and unconventional love songs! Backed by 33 world-class musicians, vocalists, and producers, Alixa and Naima's impassioned lyricism propels 17 soulful compositions bridging electronic music and live instrumentation, combining hip-hop, spoken word, rock, blues, folk, and Afro-Latin beats.
INTRINSIC explores the inescapable network of mutuality that binds our existence through the ricochet of oppression and the reciprocity of liberation, reminding us all that we belong to each other.
