KNOWLE WEST BLING - DJ Bunjy & KALA CHNG

Why has the world become so divided?
What is this bubbling of sides and 'far' everything?
Is there a chance for us to come together, talk it through, and all become friends again?

I believe we can all find common ground, if we listen and empathise and also help each other - even if we don't quite understand each others points of view.
Until then, I'll power through the difficult debates and hurdles in life, as best I can and I hope we can find a way through these difficult world events right now.

Woman

Run With Wolves

For all the times we need to get ready for the big challenges and moments in our life’s journey and the feeling of that time coming that we’ve all been waiting for. After all the struggles and hard work, a time to celebrate how far we’ve come and what we’re about to do next. It’s about coming to bloom, connection to the universe and destiny.

Released Fri 16th June - in time for my Party on The Green performance Sun 18th June, as part of the celebrations of Bristol’s 650th anniversary and celebrates finding out our community centre and public space (at Filwood Broadway, Knowle West, Bristol)  will be getting Levelling Up funds,  for improvements we've been working towards for a long time.”

Make It Good

Wild Woman

Fighter ( Dr Moody Remix) is about the life experiences that can make us need to be the fighter in life, but that if we can heal and emerge new, we can become the person we were always meant to be. “Since first writing the song, I now see, it is not our wounds that make us strong, but we find the strength we always had, to overcome and get to the top of the mountain, ready to enjoy the beautiful valley of life that awaits us.”

About:
During lockdown in mid April KALA noticed a lot of feelings being expressed online so she did a callout for reflections about the situation that could be included in a song. 

She worked on lyrics and melody over the following weeks that responded to and represented the responses and shared a draft on social media. 
KALA said " It was an interesting new way to write and think about lyrics. For example someone said 'I talk more with my neighbours" so it became 'over fences we chatter' to fit the syllables, feel and rhyme'. 

Through sharing her progress online KALA connected with Doc Moody (of Perpetual Records) who offered to co-produce the song. 

The final outcome is this release, shared in the time of the second wave approaching. 

KALA said: "I wanted to create something that, instead of representing just my feelings as an artist, represented a wider emotional expression of humanity and the situation we found ourselves in. Songs are great ways to connect people and bring people together and it seemed so important to do that right now." 

With thanks to key contributors: 
Emily, Vicky, Jeanette, Rick, Julien, Vashti, Claudia and John
