What a lovely little relaxed instrumental tune! Conor Albert explains that “piano joint is my gift to the fans that have been following me on Instagram and TikTok over the last year.

Artist: Maria Die Ruhe
Song: Skin
Maria Die Ruhe explains of her new avant-pop single: “I disliked my body for the longest period of my life for different reasons. I was always ashamed of getting undressed first in school sports, later with lovers. A lot of women share this phenomenon. This is insane. Today, I know that I am perfect as I am and beautiful. Do you like this vehicle you were born into? Your body? Your body is a magical machine with incredible functions and huge abilities to learn, develop, change. It is always there for you. You are your body and your body becomes the thoughts you are giving to it. With ‘SKIN’, I am rounding up my life and travelling the transformation of making peace with my body and loving and nurturing it as it is. My body. The only one I have in this life.”
