With a total running-time of just 10 minutes, Giift says more than what most artists are capable of during a full-length album. Her debut-EP, Archives, was both an impressive and inspiring release by an 18-year old young girl whose modest and almost shy appearance would go and shine a light on the international neo-soul and R’n’B-scene of 2022.

Giift interprets the youth in her lyrics and sing them out in her own way with a remarkably pure voice. She has a self-taught, boundless way of producing harmonies and musical layers making her minimalistic yet complex and grandiose sound stand out and portray a young girl whose mind, body and soul becomes her music.

“2022 has been very overwhelming to me. Letting go of Archives was also about letting go of an emotionally chaotic period in my life and at the same time it became the ultimate high that collided with new love. ‘If You Leave’ is written right at that time – as a declaration of unlimited love and as the definite ending of a chapter one and the beginning of a new,” Giift tells.

Writing her debut EP began along with Giift progressing and developing as a producer but long before she even knew where she was headed on her musical journey – that’s why it’s entitled, Archives.“These five songs represent everything that I’ve experienced over the last few years. There’s a personal storybehind every lyric, top to bottom, and so, it was natural for me to list them in order of when I experienced what and in the order of the emotions I was going through. Archives is about falling in love, falling out of love, loving yourself and everything in between,” Giift says.

New track ‘Me Time’ is the songwriter telling a story about how she needed to “cut some people off” to solely find comfort. Giift often draws her songs too as she likes the idea of “sounding out a picture”, she says.

“Music is a very impulsive thing to me. It happens in bits and pieces – as quick melodies or guitar parts and sounds recorded on my phone–and the actual song comes alive mostly during night time till early in the morning,” Giift tells. She continues: “I always knew, I wanted to make music. But I couldn’t set it free until I knew exactly what it should mean to me and what stories it should tell. This is my first chapter.”
