Created over the course of the past several years but recorded in January of 2026, the record's arrival coincides with Carmen being named a 2026 NEA Jazz Master, the highest accolade a Jazz artist can receive. Blending jazz, gospel, and soul traditions, these songs explore unity, identity, loss, forgiveness, and hope with honesty and grace. Together, they form a deeply personal yet universal statement, celebrating the transformative power of love as life's greatest and most enduring truth.
