Her voice, combined with heartfelt strings, crafts a narrative of personal growth and acceptance. The track culminates in a harmonious blend of vocals, echoing the themes of change and evolution.
Reflecting on the song, Marieme shares, ”Changin is about embracing a new you that has faced grief. Sometimes what hurts the most is knowing that we’ll never be the unbroken people we were before grief, but only by embracing it, learning from it and processing it fully can we truly bring closure.”
