✨ A soul revealed through someone else’s scars.

“Biography (Ballad)” is a sweeping, cinematic soul ballad from Sammi Dae’s genre-crossing project. Performed by Thea—an AI vocalist built to represent the emotional world of human creators—the track is drenched in lush harmonies, smoky instrumentation, and aching R&B inflections. The result is intimate yet universal, expressing the pain and power of shared experience.

The story? Two lives walking separate paths but carrying the same wounds—so much so, they seem to be reading each other’s autobiography. It’s a song about reflection, resilience, and the mirror of love lost and found.

But this is more than a song—it’s part of a new chapter in music itself.

🎙 About the Project
In a youth-obsessed industry where visual identity often outweighs songwriting, a veteran musician, Luke Carter (Sammi Dae), has created a bold solution: a family of AI vocalists—Thea among them—designed to give voice and identity to the songs he has written, performed, and produced. These voices aren’t just tools—they’re digital personas carrying the emotion of real human experience into a future-facing format.

With “Biography (Ballad),” Thea becomes more than a voice—she’s the vessel for one of the most vulnerable, heartfelt songs in the Sammi Dae collection.

🎧 For fans of: Cleo Sol • Snoh Aalegra • Jorja Smith • Sampha • Lianne La Havas
🖤 Mood: Reflective • Soulful • Intimate
✨ AI Meets Emotion: Part of the Biography series, where each version of the song is voiced by a different AI artist—bringing timeless songs to life in new identities, curated by Manchester-based label DGG Productions.

Simon Cordery is Professor and Chair in the History Department at Iowa State University. Simon’s research ranges across the modern Atlantic and he is the author of three other books: The Iron Road in the Prairie State, Mother Jones, and British Friendly Societies, 1750–1914.

We spoke to Simon about George Pullman’s older brother Albert Benton Pullman and his many contributions to the extraordinary success of the Pullman sleeping car, why Albert’s history was overshadowed and in many cases rewritten by his younger brother George, and the many things we can learn about the Gilded Age by studying how ordinary investors and entrepreneurs like Albert operated during that time.

This is about the life of the artist, Eduardo Paolozzi, and about using experiences to inform the creation of art.

-----------------------------

Such a lot to think about 
When your family is
Pulled down under the waves
That crash
Around the sunken ship
That was trying to take you back home

The sea we used to gaze upon
From the family shop that sold ice cream
To kids, they were on their holidays
Before they went back home

Close your eyes
And you can go right back there

What do you see?
Eduardo draws it carefully
The fisherman and his wife
Are calling
They want to help you get back home
Before it’s too late

Melt down those memories
Make something new
For a station
By a building

It’s 100 ft tall
It towers above

Melt down those memories
A ritual forgot
Sculpted anew
Just like the wave
That swept your family away

Elsa TRIOLET (Audio Biography)

The story of a national treasure we won't soon forget – by the woman who knew him best.  

 I mention you’ve been smoking. ‘He mustn’t!’ she says, alarmed. ‘There’s so much oxygen in your house he’d explode.’ There is a funny side to this — a cartoonish end: Johnnie Walker DJ Explodes! 

Just try not to take the house with you.

In Johnnie Walker – Both Sides Now, his devoted wife Tiggy shares the final chapter of their life together: the slow, painful goodbye to the man she adored. She reflects on the soaring highs of Johnnie’s legendary Radio 2 career, as they navigate the heartbreak, frustration, and strange intimacy of anticipatory grief.

This is an honest, deeply personal portrait of love and loss — a raw, life-affirming tribute to a remarkable life well-lived. With wit and unflinching clarity, Tiggy lays bare the emotional toll of caring for someone at the end of life, and the impossible task of letting go while still holding on.

Not just for those who loved Johnnie Walker — this is for anyone who’s known the tangled, messy grace of caring, grieving and loving, all the way to the final breath.

Both Sides Now: Laughter, grief and everything in between with Johnnie Walker, By Tiggy Walker, Foreword by Johnnie Walker, Read by Tiggy Walker

Mirza Muhammad Uzair Akbar is a well-known respected scholar and a prominent leader in the Muslim community of Queensland. He has been the appointed Imam for over two decades in the century-old Holland Park mosque located in the beautiful suburbs of Brisbane. He is the President of the Councils of Imam Queensland (CIQ) and sits on the board of many not-for-profits organisations, youth clubs, and Islamic Finance Organisations in Australia. 

His passion, zeal and commitment speaks volumes of his 23yr tenure in this place. Imam Uzair has been gifted with a unique way of connecting to the common audience through his Islamic  lectures, tafseers, and sermons. His forte includes connecting with the youth and giving common life analogies that really strike the heart of listeners. He considers all his listeners as one big family. 

Imam was born in England and completed his Islamic Scholar course (Ulema) from various cities and institutions in Pakistan including Jamia Ashrafia Lahore, Gujranwala, Sahiwal, and Jamia Binoria Karachi. He did his Hufaaz course (memorisation of the Quran) from Raiwind Lahore. He is blessed to have been in the accompany of and personally taught by many world renowned and learned scholars.

Imam Uzair Akbar is also very popular amongst the wider community in Australia. He is always present to give talks and appear in multi-faith forums, conduct open days and visits from schools. When he does get a chance from his busy schedule you will see the Imam swinging his cricket bat or doing some sort of sports. He is an avid sportsperson whether it’s cricket, golf, table tennis, swimming, or lawn tennis. 

He has recently been featured in the 3 part documentary “The Mosque Next Door” on SBS Australia. https://youtu.be/HX4C6rD_iZo
