Album Notes

Sheeba's line draws her inspiration from the queen of Sheba - one of the few legendary females to be treated equally. Sheba's legend lives all over Africa and appears in European folk tales including the Holy Grail. She is well known for encouraging responsible creativity and connection to nature. Her origins are ancient and her story has lived through many lives and masks of civilisation.

Her line.
In our time ideal worlds lie open - bleeding with inconsistencies and failures to deliver justice, freedom and liberty. Christianity, Islam- religion sentenced to corruption and hypocrisy. Tis not capitalism, communism, socialism, democracy or 'the empire'. Tis not science, technology or health through material wellbeing and the hippies never delivered. Some have too much, some too little. Some live oppressed - others depressed infected with affluenza. We have blamed, shifted guilt and plastered the mess with bandaids but none of this to any great end. In her lyrics, Sheeba's line asks us to keep thinking - keep feeling and to look for a deeper connection within ourselves as human beings inhabiting this planet.

Her look
As a performing artist, Sheeba's line creates images that toy with the masks of our time - her face always veiled or masked in guises. Her eyes and her voice are her primary mediums for communicating - windows to a world within. Yes - she will go to market but her body and beauty are not for sale - tis the realm of the body-mind connection she wishes to make popular. 'Brand' it if you like but put the money to responsible use. Invest it in the future - in children and in sustaining the planet we call home.

Her voice
She speaks softly and her words bring clarity and awareness. The music is in the background for the chill out lounge prepping you for energy and inspiration that the boogie and the beat drive through your cells. This is the way of Africa - we are own shamans. Amandla!

Sheeba's line was raised in Africa and Australia and here she has spent her time pondering the many worlds she has passed through.
