Pieces will be premiered on BBC Radio London as part of a live session and Premier Radio’s Unsigned Podcast. She is currently a resident artist of The Roundhouse in London.
‘Pieces’ sees the songstress jumping back on the piano to bring you uplifting tunes inspired by baroque melodies and middle 8s that spreads the message that in life’s big jigsaw, progress doesn’t come instantly, it comes in pieces. To compliment the success of this feel good tune, NAVINA releases an equally as feel good visual, featuring the artist amongst friends in a lighthearted, playful environment. It echoes the epitome and essence of the track and shows the joy of the simpler things in life, such as playing games and just having a good laugh with your nearest and dearest.
“I wrote pieces inspired by the concept of jigsaws and patience. I think more so than ever, we can try to display a life which has everything figured out on our online highlight reel. We try to find the answers in many different things when in reality, true contentment comes from looking above ourselves and the situations we find ourselves in, towards something greater. If we look back on where we’ve come from, we most often realise that we’ve come much farther than we need to go. Being content is merely just piecing together the good things that each day brings.”
