#MusicPH - Peaceful Gemini finds her way towards introspection and healing on her 4-track EP, Leo Rising
A new EP by the Filipina rapper and musician Peaceful Gemini was inspired by her own life's events, thoughts, and convictions.
The four-track album, aptly titled Leo Rising, charts her journey as a woman trying to find her path to self-discovery, healing, and contemplation. The gifted newcomer claims that her most recent EP, released through Sony Music Entertainment, is as intimate as it gets, with each song capturing her current situation, including her challenges and newly acquired knowledge.
“Through time, experience, and maturity, I changed and grew more mindful about my past and my roots, and started connecting with my body, mind, and emotions in order to heal. Leo Rising lands at a perfect time when I was able to address my inner worlds and wounds, and express my truth in a more fierce and radical way.”
The cosmic, soul-inflected EP is produced by Skeematic, who is known for fusing classic boom bap beats with bohemian flair. His work complements Peaceful Gemini’s conscious rap narrative, while maintaining a sense of rawness and grit.
Other collaborators include Nicole Anjela, who provided supporting vocals for “Gising na Gising” and “Moment to Breathe,” and Nuevo for the romantic crossover track “Twin Flame.”
Leo Rising serves as a follow-up to Peaceful Gemini’s Middle of NowHere, a critically acclaimed record that explores spiritual and outside themes within the content of hip-hop. Considered as a bigger sister of Middle of NowHere, Leo Rising is a more matured and evolved affair that comes from a place of awareness.
Its focus track “Moment To Breathe” addresses healing with a deeper perspective. “Being tasked to frontline a shift that can be so fragile as an old world dies and a new paradigm emerges,” Peaceful Gemini shares. “I am facing it all, knowing that I am guided and blessed with the potential of a deeper understanding of an essence beyond me.”
Peaceful Gemini’s new EP, Leo Rising is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
