7th Seed
"10 songs, like a cycle. This is my fourth official album, 7th Seed, and it also marks ten years since I started composing music.
From 'you can bury me in the ground, but you won't destroy me' to 'just grow freely, 7th Seed.'
It's not a traditional rap album, nor is it completely pop. I don't even know how to describe it, but this is my current state—the closest to what I feel inside. I think a creator should follow their heart and reserve a space for their own world.
After two or three years of preparation, it finally sprouted from the soil. I don't know what shape this tree will take, nor where it will go in the future. I hope it leads me to seek life's possibilities—the possibilities of Vinida.
Thank you for listening."
7th Seed is Vinida's fourth studio album. Besides featuring wonderful music—my favorite being "Awaken Me"—the album also includes a short telenovela: interconnected music videos that tell a story. They are "Awaken Me," "7th Seed," and "Kill the Fear"—three acts.
But there are also standalone music videos that aren't part of this trilogy, such as "Paradise Bird" and "Marching." As she said herself, it's not a rap album, but it's not a pop album either—for example, "Hallelujah" features fast, almost aggressive rap.
The album also has a fantasy and mystical touch with "Piece of Peace," the interlude.
There's an Afrobeat vibe that Vinida loves, with "OngMa" and "Can You Hear Me."
I know that in words it might sound like a messy album, but it's an excellent one. If you're interested in Vinida, I suggest starting with this album and seeing her many facets.
