Combining alternative R&B with classical, and with influences from soul, hip hop and reggae, Ayanna Witter-Johnson is the definition of an eclectic soul. Through her work with the LSO, she forged a friendship with LSO Principal Percussionist, Neil Percy, which became the starting point for the recording. "His enthusiasm for my music moves me to tears and was the catalyst behind our first collaboration and subsequent commission, 'Forever'. The organic development of this project is something I will treasure forever, because above all, I have felt the fullest support in expressing myself exactly as I am, and that goes beyond words." Ayanna Witter-Johnson This album showcases Witter-Johnson's special partnership with the LSO Percussion Ensemble, where her choice of rhythms, harmony, and use of percussion all have symbolic meaning in relation to the songs' deep inspiration. Released digitally and on CD in October 2023, a new vinyl edition of the album is now due for release in April 2024, using sustainable and reduced-CO2 emissions BioVinyl.
