Following on from the success of her self-titled debut in 2017, Owens recently collaborated with Jon Hopkins on ‘Luminous Spaces’, and has remixed the likes of Björk, St Vincent and Jenny Hval.

‘Inner Song’ was born from what Owens describes as “the hardest three years of my life.” In the press release, she comments, “I wasn’t sure if I could make anything anymore, and it took quite a lot of courage to get to a point where I could create again. I did a lot of inner work in the past few years, and this is the true reflection of that.”
