“Open to You” by Shelita is a Slow Groove Love Bomb for Thine Own Self

In the introduction to her book Women Who Run with the Wolves, Clarissa Pinkola Estés writes, “It’s not by accident that the pristine wilderness of our planet disappears as the understanding of our own inner wild nature fades.” The opening lines in “Open to You” seem to echo this idea, inviting us to embrace the wildness within. “There’s something about the way / The animal in you / Brings the animal in me / Out to play”. Shelita, who is a conscious pop artist from Seattle, reminds us that our most instinctive selves need not be tamed, and can be made to feel safe within us. Her song is like an ancient remembrance that our core desire to feel love is enough to make our dreams come alive.

“Open to You” is like a magic spell that Shelita casts on herself and whoever listens to the song. She affirms, “I want flowers in bed/ Candle-lit baths…I’ll have my cake/ And eat it too.” She sings with slow grace and passion that feels like a soft reverberation. The music pulses deep through every layer of your physical, emotional, and spiritual body. With serene sound and immaculate production, it makes the song my new play-in-the-loop. And my favourite lines: “I’m a vessel selling/ Through a wild sea of hope/ Towards a love that knows no boundaries”.
