Transcendence
SWEETSTREAM
Sweetstream has with “Transcendence” explored new ways to fuse different kinds of musical genres from classical music and opera to urban, electro and underground trip-hop, and this release is a manifesto of everything her music stands for – sounding as if created on another planet; ambiguity written all over the familiar, and yet unfamiliar, music at the same time.
Sweetstream has described the album as: “…music for the mind. Transcendence means that it transforms and breaks your expectations as a listener.”
With both instrumental and vocal songs, “Transcendence” is ever-changing like a chameleon. From beginning to end, it takes you on a journey through a Jeanette Winterson-esque world. The electro fusion of the hypnotic bass and more conventional instruments defeats the segregation of time.
It’s an expedition through past, present and future; and through its travels, taking the best of each genre and given birth to an altogether new breed of music; mastering the difficult art of music and yet still managing to preserve and convey who she really is as a musician; simply brilliantly weird.

Transcendence
When you are at crossroads
You often wonder why
When you try to feel alive
Just know in your heart
What you do feels right
Romance
Circus of Life
Respect
Respect
Sometimes it is easy to play around
But always stay faithful
No to loose your respect
For yourself
Each of us needs freedom
Each of us needs freedom
Not cheap fun
Not cheap fun
Otherwise you can’t respect yourself
Respect
Be honest
Human nature strong and enduring
Live through struggles
Live through struggles
Don’t forget
Respect yourself
Respect
Love yourself too
Respect for mankind
Soulhood
Nature
And yourself
Be honest
So you can look into the mirror every morning
Not be afraid of having lost yourself
Take a step and be proud
Your neighbour appreciates
Respect
Sometimes it is easy to play around
But always stay faithful
Not to loose your respect for yourself
Each of us needs freedom
Not cheap fun
Otherwise, you can’t respect yourself
Respect
When you’re expressing your feelings
Love yourself too
Respect for mankind
Soulhood
Nature
And yourself
Respect
Take a step and be proud
Your neighbour appreciates
Respect
Sometimes it is easy to play around
But always stay faithful
No to loose your respect for yourself
Each of us needs freedom
Not cheap fun
Otherwise, you can’t respect yourself
Respect
Be honest
Care for all
Relationships live
Of respect
Dignified love
Human nature strong and enduring
Live through struggles
Oh yes
Respect yourself
Don’t sell your soul
Be honest
Sometimes it is easy to play around
But always stay faithful
Not to loose your respect for yourself
Each of us needs freedom
Not cheap fun
Otherwise, you can’t respect yourself
