Alicia Delmarie offers healing in harmony with soulful new single “Forgiveness”

With heat in her voice and mission in her soul, American/Jamaican artist Alicia Delmarie and Sizzla, has released her latest single, “Forgiveness,” a song that feels like a healing, comforting salve for tired hearts. Born out of some smooth R&B/Soul/Reggae fusion, Alicia always brings on the chill, and it’s no different here. “Forgiveness” is an emotional experience, a soft pulse that reassures us peace is in loving others but also learning to let go. With her trademark sound of lightness and soulfulness, Alicia writes her response in a song that’s at once timely and timeless. Alicia’s vocals skate freely over a laid-back, reggae-infused groove.

The production is warm and stripped-down, affording ample space for her voice rich, honeyed, and deeply emotive to shine. Every word she sings has an unmistakably sincere ring to it, as though “Forgiveness” were a private letter written to the world. What sets Alicia apart is her spiritual glow. Her music not only sounds good, it feels good. That’s because her art has a reason for being. “Forgiveness” is representative of her struggle to be a “shining light to a positive change around the world,” and she achieves it by making an often heavy subject a soulful celebration of healing. Listeners will end up rocking gently, not only to the rhythm but to the conviction in Alicia’s sentiments.

And at a time when grudges are all too often glorified, and division feels like the rule, a song like “Forgiveness” is a breath of fresh air, a melodic head-bump toward grace. Alicia Delmarie is not only an artist but a message of joy and peace. “Forgiveness” is indicative of the positive spirit she hopes to project through her music and a sign of her developing artistry and devotion to emotional transparency. If “Forgiveness” is any indication of what’s to come, Alicia Delmarie is creating ripples in the hearts of people worldwide.

Séhkou expresses a sacred pain through light in “Irreverent Beauty (2 Cor. 12:9)”

“Irreverent Beauty (2 Cor. 12:9)” breathes like a physical being in prayer, shaking, remembering, and slowly coming back to life. Séhkou’s work is a spoken psalm full of sadness, an open wound, and a testament that gets its strength from being weak, not loud.

The work has the seriousness of scripture, the softness of confessional poetry, and the gentle confusion that comes with spiritual healing. This is a softness that comes from years of breaking, fixing, breaking again, and realizing that the Divine is always there in each crack.

Séhkou talks about the paradox of divine support amid life’s scars, and he shows the pain as beautiful, even holy, and the track knows where light always tries to get in. “Irreverent Beauty (2 Cor. 12:9)” is like a map of lasting scars, showing a faith that doesn’t get rid of pain but changes it. Séhkou whispers that he is still becoming, and that is, in a way, more triumphant. In a culture that loves polished stories, this work shows the flaws and treats them as sacred.
