ionnalee; innocence of sound

music written and produced by ionnalee and Claes Björklund visual directed by ionnalee and John Strandh DOP John Strandh CD ionnalee To whom it may concern. 2024 CLOSE YOUR EYES This is the first single from my new album is released and it’s called ‘Innocence of sound’ along with its Swedish version ‘Allting vill rinna ut i sand’. The album is called CLOSE YOUR EYES is a sequel to BLUE (2014). It’s about how to dream in a dark time and how to be someone like me, an artist who feeds off of that ability for a living. How to get to a state of hopefulness, euphoria, sorrow in a time where the world seems less and less connected to other humans, to nature and to our future. I needed to make this album right now. How I find music, when made from the heart, still after working as an artist for 20 years, is a core element in my life. How crooked the view of music’s value is now even though it’s soundtracking our daily lives and can get us through the toughest of times.
