    The release of the first single Uncharted Territory prompted British press to feature Michele on the front page of Subba-Cultcha London who had this to say: “With Michele Ari it’s her seamless changes of direction, the genuine desire for making music she was born to. That's the moments that remind me how accomplished she really is...Intimate, confessional and bittersweet. Maybe music like hers never existed until right now - but regardless, here it is, and it sounds like something new to me."

about

"I could soar without chains."

lyrics

What does that mean is that any way to start?
Calling me a liar why are you trying to break my heart?

Once in the meadow and twice in the car
we told each other we'd probably go far together
No matter or whether

Here I sit at the bottom of a roadside ditch
with a fork through my soul
How did I lose control like this?

With one in the future and one in the past
One half full one half empty glass “whatever”
They don't go together

I could live without this
I could soar without chains
For someone to kiss it's just not worth the pain
I'm a sensitive girl
and I don't know why
I could live without this
I've just got to try

Invisible hands reaching for someone you don't know
Dry and barren lands where the flowers used to grow

It's no laughing matter
You've cried now for days
It was my favorite song
But now I no longer play it.
And so I'm saying...

I could live without this
I could soar without chains
For someone to kiss it's just not worth the pain
I'm a sensitive girl
and I don't care why
I could live without this
I've just got to try

I'm a sensitive girl
and I don't care why
I could live without this
I've just got to try

What does that mean is that any way to start?
