The album kicks off with “The Rite,” an appropriate title as an introduction to further confirm to listeners that they made the right choice when they hit play on the album. Featuring Sweden’s Ernesto & The Basement Gospel, the jam’s groovy sound is perfect to open up the dance floors with, with its electrifying synths and tension-building breakdowns. If you can’t get enough of this collaboration, then you are in luck, because the Swedish singer appears once more on “Devil’s Advocat.”

Listeners will not be able to resist swaying from side to side with “The Balance,” which is followed by a spoken word reminder from Lazarus to “Find balance. Finding time for everything and allowing everything to find time in you. Finding an equilibrium.” Another track to help center the mind is the collaboration with Patricia Baloge, “Moood,” which brings forth a minimal beat that acts as a metronome for the soul and vocals that accentuate it throughout its runtime.

While the album is filled to the brim with great tracks, another immediate standout that should be mentioned is “The Message” which features German-born poet, Bajka. With the world constantly in chaos, Hyenah and Bajka give everyone an anthem for the new world. It reminds us all that “We’re solid as a rock. They just can’t stop us now,” further affirming our strengths within and that the good shall always outweigh the bad.

If spoken word is your thing, make sure to give “The Manifesto ” with Rimarkable a listen; it bridges Afro-house and melodic realms carrying out a late-night edge throughout the song. Each tune stands out for its individual collaborator and showcases fusions between different musical cultures.

Love In Times of Crisis is a collection that holds truths to its name with themes ranging from daily affirmations, unity, community, and diversity. Listen to the album on Spotify and let us know your thoughts in the comment section below!
