    My dad in-law gave me a small analog camera he'd had lying around for years, and I started bringing it everywhere. I wanted to document the artists featured on the album as well as beauty on the many walks w my newborn daughter. The trip to Paris mixing at OneTwoPassit Studio and little sessions at home. Essentially to give a view into the process of the making of TRUST.

about

"Spirits Came Told Me" is a glimpse into Astrid Engberg's forthcoming masterful sophomore album, that finds the Danish singer, producer, composer and DJ paying tribute to intuition and new motherhood. Spanning contemporary soul, nu jazz, electronic and more, the LP sees her collaborating with a line-up of Nordic talent as well as Los Angeles-based Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, a venerated multi-instrumentalist, conductor and composer known for works with Ray Charles, Flying Lotus, Thundercat, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige as well as his esteemed orchestral reimagining of J Dilla’s back catalogue titled Suite For Ma Dukes.

In valuable conversations, her connection with Miguel Atwood-Ferguson looms large. Introduced to Suite For Ma Dukes not long after its 2009 release, it was a performance and record that blew her mind and became a Holy Grail in her collection. During the pandemic she’d reach out with some of her music after he put out a call for fans interested in online sessions with him. He enjoyed her music to the extent that he proposed to connect on a one-to-one level, and they’d have their first of several Zooms. On sending him the three album tracks that he features on, she recalls being red-faced when he said it was an honour to contribute.

“I’m so grateful for these tracks and his work. He’s a representation of the music business that I want to be part of. If I can in my own way, with what I am and who I am, be a kind of representation of that world, that’s cool for me.” - Astrid Engberg

“After meeting Astrid and discovering her music, I immediately felt like I met another member of my musical family. I love how earthy and celestial her voice, compositions, and productions are. I love how uplifting her music is while still feeling authentic and coming out of the realness of what seems to me like the suffering of any awakened and caring individual has. At a time when I feel that the world desperately needs more female leaders, Astrid in my opinion is a perfect example of someone whose voice needs to be amplified and enjoyed." - Miguel Atwood-Ferguson

lyrics

Freedom

Free yourself, free your heart and mind 

Spirits in the dark told me; let it all shine 

Freedom take my hand

We will be alright

Walk with me and let’s live this quiet night

Freedom now’s the time 
 Mama’s quiet voice

Told me let it shine

Make the better wise choice

There is only now

What a lesson learned

Thank the trees that grow from the ground we burned

Freedom should be yours

Freedom should mine 

Freedom should be hers
