Speaking about the inspiration behind her EP, Miriam Nyarko says: “My debut EP has been a long time coming over the last few years and it has taken on many different shapes, sounds and shapes. I think if you dwell on something for too long, you run the risk of becoming stagnant in your search for perfection. So I couldn’t think of a better time than now to release these songs. If God gave me these songs once, why wait until later? Ultimately, I feel like these four songs are the most accurate and vulnerable representation of me and my faith. I also love the story this EP conveys – we start out “drowning” and struggling through our struggles, but in our journey to find God and find ourselves again, we end with an ever-present reminder that we are all based on Him are built. ”
