Photography, here metaphorically as a key to the past, opens doors to moments that seem long gone but live on within us. The chorus – a kind of collective mantra – describes not just a journey, but an intertwining of stories that support each other. The garden in which hopes take root becomes a symbol of what must be nurtured in order to flourish. And when ‘ our songs have lost a note or two ’, it is not a flaw, but proof of lived depth.

Overwhelming gentleness: ‘Rock the Boat’ by ANA ROXANA

‘Rock the Boat’ by ANA ROXANA

She is a Romanian singer, songwriter, and producer who resides in the Netherlands. She has been our guest on several occasions and never fails to surprise us. ‘Rock the Boat’ is her latest single, and the artist behind it, as some may already know, is ANA ROXANA. 
ANA ROXANA
This cheerful summer song revolves around the feeling of having found true love. It’s not about fireworks, as she says, but about a sense of peace and deep joy. Musically, she once again impresses us with her vocals. Her harmonies exude a gentle charm and melodic quality that make her instantly recognizable. 
From song to song, born within her trusted musical world, she offers us something new that still sounds so familiar that it makes you feel at home or evokes a sense of arrival. Whenever an ANA ROXANA song plays, it’s as if someone opens the door and invites you in, and the same goes for ‘Rock the Boat’, you’re musically embraced. Overwhelming gentleness, produced by ANA ROXANA and optimized, mixed, and mastered together with Rogier Grosman from SEAH Studios in Arnhem.
