Abby Power and SamXVI have just unveiled a new collaborative release called ‘What The Fire Couldn’t Take‘.
“The project brings together a carefully selected collection of songs and spoken word pieces written and recorded across different chapters of my life. Through themes of faith, perseverance, gratitude, struggle, hope, and healing, SamXVI identified a narrative running through the music long before either of us realised how significant it would become.” – Abby Power
Work on the EP began before Power received news of a cancer diagnosis and was completed shortly before her surgery. The record features both new songs as well as remastered versions of older releases like ‘Count Blessings’.
Through the EP’s journey, a central theme starts to emerge: ‘that while adversity can leave its mark, it cannot take everything. Faith, love, purpose, gratitude, hope, and human connection remain’.
It’s a powerful record, and one that has clearly had a tonne of heart and soul poured into it and is a testament to both Abby and SamXVI’s artistry.
