I remember the first day I listened to a collection of Kelly Love Jones albums. Previous that day, I was feeling a bit displaced. I didn’t know that listening to her music would give me the hug I needed. Her songs whisper “it will be alright” in so many words and melodies. She spoke to my inner child that needed to feel loved and secure. That day, I was grateful for choosing to listen to her music. I wanted to know more of Kelly Love Jones.

Her songs feels like home. Her intentions can be heard clearly, as they come from her heart. The melodies create a safe space and relaxes any judgement or walls you’ve built around yourself. You can feel your spirit being fed with goodness. It’s proof that Kelly Love Jones is a beautiful soul and bright beam of light.

TRUST inspires belief, forgiveness, connections to your own light and trusting in yourself. It reminds us that music is a feeling. One that you can connect to and be at one with self and everything around you. It gives you super powers to conquer the next moment where you once doubted yourself before.

TRUST changed my life.

Kelly extends this love on her latest album TRUST not only through her music, but also with other talented artists to create the album AND the production of TRUST. She gives everyone she invites a space to shine their own light, giving talent a voice to be heard and a platform to be seen. This is what makes TRUST so special. When you put people together that have the same intentions, you create magic and I’ve witnessed magic in every TRUST concert. I ‘ve had the honor to document some of them, through which she has also given me a platform to express my talents in photography. My eyes have watered involuntarily at each and every performance. She adds a new element, from the performers to the props, so every concert is worth seeing, more than once. Her interaction with her audience is so genuine, you feel a part of the show. TRUST is inclusive. It’s more than a concert. It’s an experience and a feeling that you won’t forget.
