LISTEN: “Boundaries” by Aisha Badru

Aisha Badru returns with a poignant new single, “Boundaries,” ahead of her forthcoming album The Sun Still Rises, set for release on November 29 via Nettwerk. Known for her ability to distil complex emotions into simple and resonating truths, Aisha’s latest offering is a serene yet powerful exploration of the importance of setting personal limits in today’s hyperconnected world.

“Boundaries” is a delicate folk track that showcases Aisha’s signature hushed vocals and introspective lyricism. The song gently invites one to take a step back from the relentless pace of modern life, advocating for stillness and reflection as essential to personal well-being. This theme is central to The Sun Still Rises, which Aisha describes as an album devoted to the “immeasurable power of stillness and reflection.” Badru’s music has always been deeply personal and introspective, and “Boundaries” is no exception. 

She explains, 

“Boundaries is the alternative to the workaholic, always available, ultra-productive archetype/mindset that is so prevalent today, especially in the age of social media. Sometimes stillness and rest is the best course of action to move forward.” 

This message is delivered with the same tenderness and elegance. No stranger to blending her singer-songwriter roots with a focus on emotional healing and wellness, “Boundaries” continues to contribute to the narrative of growth and self-discovery Aisha so poetically sings about.

With “Boundaries”, Aisha Badru cements her role not just as an artist, but as a guide for those seeking solace and clarity amidst the chaos of contemporary life. She once again proves that her music is a soothing balm for the soul, encouraging us all to find peace within ourselves.
