On her debut solo album i hope you feel it too, Bay Area-raised flautist and composer Elena Pinderhughes steps into the spotlight after years of collaborating across jazz, hip-hop and R&B spaces. 'where the body keeps secrets' is an evocative title, hinting at feelings held beneath the surface, which is reflected in the music’s shifting tensions and releases. Through her expressive flute playing, she gives shape to emotions that feel difficult to articulate, moving between restraint and intensity without the need for words. The result is an instrumental that feels deeply personal. And as the longest track on the album, it is emotional weight carried through phrasing and dynamics, rather than lyrical expression.
