Soraia

”Soraia is an extraordinary, exciting, and ‘sure to make waves’ band who I love and admire” - Joan Jett “Ultimately, our new album is about rising above all of the slights, injuries, and traumas we’ve all experienced - personally and together - and positioning ourselves into a new place we’ve chosen. A place with renewed courage and vitality," affirms ZouZou Mansour, lead singer and lyricist for Soraia. Anyone who’s overcome mental, physical, emotional, or spiritual barriers will relate deeply to this ten-song collection, aptly titled, Bloom. Soraia’s "Bloom" showcases tragic romance, awakened passion, fiery desire, and lost identity - yet is ultimately filled with their consistent foreboding of hope. These themes - combined with the band’s signature hard rocking, motivating sound - create a unique listening experience. Bloom inevitably empowers the listener to make the change they choose - consequences be damned. Soraia does what they do best on Bloom: shine and reflect through personal stories a universal identity we all share. Their songs promise life after loss, and survival that is both fragile and tough. Bloom is the promise of redemption and newfound passion. The black lotus rising from the mud that blooms into the most beautiful flower: it blossoms from its sin, scars, and final survival—a spirit brimming with strength. What has kept these warriors together through thick and thin is that bond. That darkness. That hope. We will keep telling our stories.
