Jasmine 03:21
Golden jasmine flower Defying winter cold Clinging to the wall Her hopes unfold Her hopes unfold Beautiful girl All on her own Beautiful girl She stands alone Beautiful girl All on her own Beautiful girl She stands alone Untamed Untamed wild rose Rising through the railings Seeking a ray of light Cause now she knows Cause now she knows Beautiful girl All on her own Beautiful girl She stands alone Beautiful girl All on her own Beautiful girl She stands alone Beautiful girl All on her own Beautiful girl She stands alone

Freedom claimed For a new world Every hope untamed The wall came down Rainbow in Berlin White flags on the ground Freedom gained In a new world Forgotten times behind But now again Fear and pride Are shining on golden sands Just for once picture the world As an everyone’s land Just for once as a rainbow in In Berlin Just for once picture the world As an everyone’s land Just for once as a rainbow in In Berlin We or them Ever two worlds Fences in our minds And I can hear the earth She cries, she cries for hope Freedom claimed For a new world Every hope untamed Walls will crumble Rainbows in Berlin For ever golden grounds Just for once picture the world As an everyone’s land Just for once as a rainbow in In Berlin Just for once picture the world As an everyone’s land Just for once as a rainbow in In Berlin Just for once picture the world As an everyone’s land Just for once as a rainbow in In Berlin Just for once picture the world As an everyone’s land Just for once as a rainbow in In Berlin

Frozen hopes Lost in those spoken words Water flows She swallows She tries to stop the flood Broken tries Lost in those frozen lies Ice and pride He pretends Though he’s like a disappointed child No man’s land No man’s land Stuck in there No man’s land (no man’s land) No man’s land Stuck in there Same good old tunes Lost in those frozen ruins An inconvenient truth That both refuse That both refuse No man’s land No man’s land Stuck in there No man’s land (no man’s land) No man’s land Stuck in a frozen land

Butterflies 02:58
They are painting, they are painting Golden houses, golden boxes Old ruins have been hidden Dazzling rainbow, rainbow fences They are painting, they are painting Golden houses, golden boxes Old ruins have been hidden Dazzling rainbow, rainbow fences Bright white butterflies And strawberries on the fields Our foolish world madly tries To live happily ever after They are posting, they are posting Golden pictures, golden papers Rough stains have been hidden Flawless spotless skin but still flesh They are posting, they are posting Golden pictures, golden papers Rough stains have been hidden Flawless spotless skin but still flesh Bright white butterflies And strawberries on the fields Our foolish world madly tries To live happily ever after Bright white butterflies And strawberries on the fields Our foolish world madly tries To live happily ever after Bright white butterflies And strawberries on the fields Bright white butterflies And strawberries on the fields Our foolish world madly tries To live happily ever after

Her head above water She swallows emotions She wipes out her anger She stands there in silence She thought it all belonged To ancient history Now shameful words again She thought it all belonged To ancient history Now shameful words again about A woman’s body Afraid to admit All the strain was in vain Seeing human beings Behaving so insane She thought it all belonged To ancient history Now shameful words again She thought it all belonged To ancient history Now shameful words again about A woman’s body Blind drunk Heart sunk Swallowed water Ember smothered Blind drunk Heart sunk Swallowed water Ember smothered Blind drunk Heart sunk Swallowed water Ember smothered Blind drunk Heart sunk Swallowed water Ember smothered You shine in the sun You try to push her light down You are wrong You are scared Cause her power is divine Ethereal high above Made of water Flowing Glowing Growing into love

about

Swiss electro-pop outfit Namaka releases a new EP ‘Water On The Sun’. Open-minded and honest, the songs celebrate feminine strength and empowered vulnerability. More empathy, less pride. After talking about unreal appearances in single ‘Butterflies’ and an everyone’s land in ‘Rainbow In Berlin’, ‘Water on The Sun’ honors emotionality as a strong tenderness rising in our bodies and drowning our fears.

Namaka recorded the EP during a session in singer Sophie Adam’s family house in northern Italy. Analogical and digital, organic and mechanical; the band finds its balance in between driving electronic beats and fluid pop melodies. It feels like this one moment after going out on a rave. Still slightly euphoric, you just sit there and rest with the first light of the day.
