I Will Not Stop Singing

Debut album, "I Have No Everything Here," was the surprise “World Music” hit of 2015. Featuring prisoners and officers from Malawi’s maximum security prison, many that were previously non-musicians, the album offered songs of heartbreak and loneliness, regret and despair, coupled with a sense of resilience & courage under the most extreme of circumstances. Brennan returned to the prison twice more in 2016 to record & compile this new album of equal gravity to, if not more so, than the project’s debut. As with the first record, the themes and concerns of the inmates are clearly expressed throughout the album, in songs such as “I Am Done With Evil,” “Leave My Daughter Alone,” “Protect Me,” and perhaps most revealingly, the almost prayer-like chant, “I Will Not Return to Prison.”
