“Filming the video was an incredible process. From sitting down with Freya for the first time to try and tease out ideas, to seeing the end product come together, it felt as though the intention for the track was being solidified. I think my favourite part was watching the process of turning an idea into an art form, something I’m familiar with in music but had never witnessed in visual form.” – NIDALA
Colours of My People is a 100% carbon neutral reconciliation project driven by Barker’s relentless hope in humanity and her staunch activism as a protector and carer of Country. Thanks to the support of local Bundjalung businesses Spell and Ella’s Farm, NIDALA will be dedicating 20% of all the EP’s proceeds to planting trees, hoping to demonstrate that music can be a direct tool for creating tangible positive change in the world. She is also dedicating a further 20% of the proceeds towards funding Indigenous run initiatives, ranging from mental health services to creative mentoring, as a means to amplify the positive work of her people. Arriving at a time that needs it, NIDALA’s EP invites us to connect with each other and do better as citizens of this shared planet.
