Star Persona Stirs Emotional Redemption with “All Is Forgiven”
Ottawa-based outfit Star Persona delivers a timeless musical soundscape with their latest single, “All Is Forgiven,” a poignant reminder that forgiveness can liberate our souls from the shackles of resentment in a world that often emphasizes resentment over reconciliation. This song is an emotional masterpiece woven by the creative genius of Claude Malette and his collaborators. Drawing inspiration from the echoes of legendary super groups like Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Queen, and Led Zeppelin while carving a distinct niche in the sonic tapestry of the folk-pop-rock spectrum.

The chorus unfurls like a mantra, reminding us that while scars may remain, releasing bitterness is crucial to our emotional liberation.
The single’s genre-defying nature encapsulates Canada’s musical essence, paying homage to Ottawa’s folk, pop, and rock influences. The resonance of the track further finds validation in the artists’ live performances, from local bars like The Brass Monkey and The Rainbow to sharing the stage with renowned singer Geoff Tate of Queensrÿche.
Recorded under the adept guidance of Steve Foley at Ottawa Valley Recording Studios, “All Is Forgiven” is more than a song; it’s an experience. With its melodic tapestry and resonant message, it leaves an indelible mark on the listener’s heart. Star Persona’s creation is not just music; it’s an odyssey of redemption and reconciliation, beckoning listeners to embrace the healing power of forgiveness.
