Lean In
on Edition Records 

‘Lean In’ tells the story of 20 years of connection, inspiration and friendship between two musical soulmates.

This is really a record for the soul.

Lean In is all about healing, deep trust, love and family. In a time when warmth and compassion are needed more than ever before, both artists felt compelled to make a record sharing songs of inspiration, reflection, wonder and unity, with the title encouraging us to ‘lean in’ to ourselves and to those around us.
