A soulful siren born and raised in Houston, Texas, Mabilene grew up surrounded by country and top 40 pop music. Her parents’ record collection served as an introduction to the legends she now cites as influences: Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton, and Emmylou Harris.
Written primarily while settling into her living room couch, the songs on *Liminal* were born out of a desire to recenter love and compassion in collective unconscious. As Mabilene puts it, “I’ve spent a lot of time meditating on the forces that keep us isolated and divided. These songs really look at moving through dark spaces both collectively and personally. We’ve become so incredibly fast paced, and a ton of the music we consume keeps us there - activated and amped up. I’ve often been told that my songs offer people an opportunity to slow down, breath and deeply listen. I just hope we can all try and look at the difficult and painful with the open heart of someone who is in the vulnerable space of seeking. And in the end, trusting love to be our guiding force.”
