B-SONG Scratch and scribble, nothings ever to deliver cos I really don't know what to say Brain freeze fever, hot and bothered no reciever Better wrap it up for today So I skip and I hop and I take the drop to hurry my ass back to you Cos baby when it's me and you I know just what to do My love is like a comet falling down from the sky I never play no games cos I got nothing to hide The little things in life never passes me by I promise you I feel it when you say it and you say it with love My body resonates with your smile and your touch You'll always have my heart and I will always be yours That much is true Wistle, bubble always gets me into trouble better learn from my mistakes today Slip and slide, another rawcus little ride I'll be laughing my way home ok So I swing and I sway ain't no stoppin me today cos you promised me a take-away Ain't about the spending spree as long as it's you and me CHORUS You bring reality, passion & sanity another level of security I feel with you Patience & honesty, always connect with me in a humble and a real completed way

GRACE OF YOU Life is funny you never know what it will give I am grateful for the humble life I live See my crying on my own for happiness Can't stop believing the hand that I've been dealt to live in the grace of you live in the grace of you Giving it all to you is all I want to …. x4 Fear is blinding but never hesitate to love You have my mind finding trust in everyone It's your power that can heal my tortured soul You light my fire so that I can reach my goal to live in the grace of you live in the grace of you CHORUS … Even when the wrong, are blowing hard & strong our reality, to keep it real my perogative, leads to how I see/feel our journeys way compassionately

DIDN'T YOU KNOW..... What’s in your fantasy U didn’t know it is up to me I play your mind so peacefully U’d never know that it wa as me I let you pick and choose So that you wouldn’t loose It’s all a lovers game But don’t play a fool What’s up with all that junk All that junk inside ur trunk You never seem to share your view I guess you thought it was up to you I’ll wait, dont hesitate To write my name in blue Make sure to integrate To get me next to you Aa.. Tell me know cos the wait wont make you stronger Aa.. Another silent day – I’ll fly away So baby come my way You didn’t know that I’ll lead you straight You smile so tenderly Come on and get in my fantasy No matter up or down, The true emotion show So stop and fool around Get down to fertile grounds..

The Lesson 05:39
YES IT'S FINE Let me tell you a story about this really dope multi spiritual bad ass bitch/girl that I've ever known she gives me courage and a bit fineness she's the real-est, most beloved, I've ever met Let me tell you a story about this real young boy He's the bravest little boy, that I ever heard about before He'd give his sister, his life for sure without questioning, why or what, it was for Life, bring them to me So I can see All of the colours and beauty they bring/feel/live I do believe that we're meant to be a lesson for each other SO Let me tell you a story about this girl I saw She was fearless in a way that I've never ever seen before She took on the world as, she was 94 with the straightest back, and the fiercest face she wore Let me tell you a story about this man I met He had an over sized ego and a attitude that made me fret Showed no compassion or no honesty he was lost without control & no power to be free But Life, bring them to me So I can see All of the colours and beauty they live I do believe, that we're meant to be a lesson for each other SO Let me tell you a story about this life I live It's the most a-ma-zing thing that I received He gave me gratitude and some humbleness and the power to live my life with no regrets. Fear has no place in my life today I brave each sigh For my time on this planet has a limit before I die So, light up my day never worry what to say cos you know yourself better than any mutherfucker can ever tell

about

Jazz singer Cecilia Stalin's new album I.Am is one of her most honest one – it's about her introspective journey of knowing herself, understanding her stories, about failing and getting back up again and fully embracing what's in front of you.

You'll be taken through a groovy and uplifting journey from The Lesson, a song about how peoples life stories can motivate you to a cheeky 'Didn't you know' about how women secretly emotionally run relationships to Brave, a song about facing your failures and getting back up to try again to Blunt-ly, a song about not holding back but saying what you think.

Swedish born London resident Cecilia Stalin's breakthru came with Nu Jazz act Koop "Waltz For Koop" ft on Woody Allen's "Match Point" film soundtrack. Cecilia is actively working with her own live shows at Ronnie Scott's, The Barbican, Love Supreme Jazz Festival,, Royal Festival hall, Queen Elisabeth Hall, toured China, Brazil, US and Sweden but has also worked with pop artists like The Streets, Cinematic Orchestra, Omar, recording collabs with Jazzanova’s Alex Bark, Bugz In The Attic's Daz-I-Kue, written for Max Factor & has had music out on labels such as Compost, Wagram, Jazz FM & Universal Music. Cecilia has released critically acclaimed album “Step like a giant” (a celebration of Mr.John Coltranes music) & “The story of Love” (a celebration of great 60’s pop/brazilian/jazz songs) with basist Khari Cabral Simmons (India Aire) and a couple of sucessful Ep's on her label Step like a giant Music.

She works with a group of incredible musicians where the base is a trio featuring
pianist Alex Bennett, a groove based musician who brings beautiful voicings and a lovely sensitivity, Tom Mason on electric bass who creates the solid foundation but has the most incredible harmonic understanding and wonderful timing and finally Laurie Lowe on drums who is the technical virtuoso but with soulfulness and incredible phrasing.

Other guest musicians on the album is:
Jansen Santana on percussion (Salvador, Brazil) feat. on song 4, 6, 8 & 10
Michel Limma (Sao Paulo, Brazil) feat. on song 5 & 7
Jay Phelps on trumpet (UK) feat.on song 1 & 8
Richard Beasley on tenor and baritone sax (UK) feat. on song 8
Solden Bertrand on electric guitar (Mauritius) feat. on song 3

All songs are written by Cecilia Stalin but songs 6 & 7 are co-written with London based pianist Joe Armon-Jones and songs 2, 4 & 9 is co-written with Bennett/Lowe/Mason.
