Glow in the Dark Naledi

Once upon a time, there lived a bright-eyed soul named Cloude. Their heart shone brightly, filled with a beaming love for their loved ones - until one day it cracked.

Cloude suddenly loses someone they cherished deeply, along with their reason to continue. In their grief, they are drawn to the siren song of the ocean and surrender to their sorrows. As they drown in despair, Cloude awakens in Pelo ya Lewatle (The Heart of the Sea), surrounded by complete darkness.

In this realm, they embark on a journey through loneliness and grief, searching for meaning in life and love. In the depths of darkness, Cloude discovers a glimmer of hope within their heart. Realizing that the light inside them can guide them to uncover the beauty hidden in dark.

This is a tale of grief, love, and self-discovery, explored through a metaphorical journey as told in the album Glow in the Dark Naledi. The narrative delves into finding beauty within darkness by following one's heart.
