"Birds Have to Fly" is a real album, with sophisticated orchestrations, soulful, poetic lyrics, and an organic smooth coolness. Alexia Vassiliou & Peter Massink: an eclectic duo of artistry and expression. A true poetic literary body of work, Alexia's sultry voice is a perfect match with her emotive, personal, creative lyrics to Peter's beautiful, deep, haunting melodies and high energy, sophisticated orchestrations! Of a reflective ambiance, BIRDS HAVE TO FLY, allows the listener to partake in a mystical journey through streets and cathedrals, spaces and places, of the insight, of self. The lyrics, literature.
The album brought together musicians from different countries-- Holland, Hungary, Cyprus, Greece, Germany, Italy and the United States, to co-create in essence and contribute their own unique sounds; Aesthetically a masterpiece produced. A very distinct message; that of Individuality and the permission and the choice to Soar as Osho, one of Alexia's favorite mystics described in his writing; "There are skies upon skies to explore!"
