Hen Yanni’s first EP is the story of a journey. A story in music of a spatial and psychological journey. With this record, she abandons her former life as a nomadic model, actress and DJ, for that of a musician. She performs a cathartic exercise of going back over the darkest moments of her life. She opens up on the grief of losing her mother, the end of an incandescent seven-year relationship and, more generally, on the loss - tangible or not - of people, moments and memories. Produced by electronic music composer Arnaud Rebotini, the Israeli musician’s album transcends its folk, rock, dark and new wave influences. He transforms her into a voice (summoning PJ Harvey, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, Sharon Van Etten, and Joan As Police Woman), serving as an introduction, without a doubt, to a sensitive, sincere and intimate work driven by the lyrics and vocals.
For the second track from her debut EP, Hen Yanni removes the masks and faces her demons. In this essential title track, the Israeli singer opens up about grieving a loss and the urgency of extinguishing the fire which consumes her from the inside. In a seven-year relationship with Dutch director and choreographer Imre van Opstal, the two artists put an end to their affair and, in an absolutely cathartic act, sealed a new union, this time artistic. This scene has an endof- the-world air about it. Its raw, almost cruel atmosphere, similar to the darkness depicted by Jonathan Glazer in Under The Skin, shows us one thing: Hen Yanni does not hesitate to transfigure her pain.
