Aynaz‘s debut single To My Angel Friend is a masterfully woven spiritual and philosophical piece that transcends the boundaries of genre. Opening with intricate electronica paired with immersive piano melodies, the song invites listeners into a realm of introspection and transcendence. The arrangement unfolds into a layered and dimensional energy that feels both grounded and celestial. Ethereal vocals, delivered with authenticity and emotional depth, serve as the compass guiding this emotive journey. With poetic lyricism, Aynaz bares her soul, expressing profound gratitude to her late friend Cornelius Wynter, who not only saved her life but inspired her to create this heartfelt work.
The accompanying cinematic music video, set in the serene embrace of a forest, reflects the themes of gratitude, healing, and spiritual connection. Aynaz‘s intimate expressions of thanks to Cornelius blend seamlessly with the natural setting, creating a visual experience as profound as the song itself.
This release is a testament to the power of collaboration and shared vision. Aynaz worked closely with the talented team from Fifty Seven Studio, whose sensitivity and understanding helped shape the song’s musical and visual elements. Their shared dedication allowed Aynaz to achieve a deeply personal and universally resonant sound.

At its heart, this song is a narrative of survival and gratitude.
