Relax and let Hawaii trumpeter and singer-songwriter Ann Hoku Lyn soothe you with her newest song, “Syzygy (Free Your Mind)”. It is a magnificent piece of laidback jazz/soul music. Lyrically, it speaks about the need to free oneself of the cultural and societal expectations that hold us back.

“This song is about stripping away negative and limiting thoughts to find what is true in the moment,” says Hoku Lyn. “The external idea of planets aligning in a ‘syzygy’ can also represent an idea of internal alignment. Do we align with our own beauty and power and luminescence? Or do we align with fear, shame, and let cycles of abuse control us?”
