A Sacred Ode to the Element of Life

January marks a significant moment in LOVE IS RISING, The Aleph's ambitious project releasing one single every month, with the unveiling of "WATER MANTRA", a heartfelt collaboration with songwriter Joscha Christian.

Originally conceived on the enchanting island of Corfu, "WATER MANTRA" is more than a song—it's an offering, a prayer, a meditation. This sacred piece is a tribute to water, the life-giving element that makes and shapes us all. Resonating deeply with the interconnectedness of nature and humanity, the track invites listeners to reconnect with the essence of who we are.

Having become a fan favorite during live performances, with audiences singing along in harmony, this long-awaited acoustic version captures the magic of its roots. Now, for the first time, the world can experience the original spirit of "WATER MANTRA" in its purest form.

To accompany the release, a stunningly beautiful and deeply touching music video was created by the amazing Hannah Sapphire (Aquatic Artistry). Featuring breathtaking underwater dance performances by Hannah and her partner Matti, the visuals bring the song’s essence to life in a mesmerizing, fluid motion. This visual tribute to water is now available on The Aleph’s YouTube channel—a must-watch for lovers of music, movement, and the magic of the deep.

Celebrating a Decade of Truth and Empowerment – The 10th Anniversary Re-Release of Real Eyes Realize Real Lies

Montreal-based lyricist and powerhouse Holly Dish is proud to announce the highly anticipated 10th anniversary re-release of her iconic album Real Eyes Realize Real Lies. First unveiled to the world in 2014, this groundbreaking project has left an indelible mark on music and storytelling, resonating deeply with listeners across generations and continents.

Born from an intimate collaboration between Holly Dish and music producer Joh Lowmax (now The Aleph), the album emerged as a timeless testimony to Dish’s life experiences, struggles, and triumphs. The duo’s journey between Brooklyn, Montreal, and Lüneburg studios helped shape a record that is as globally inspired as it is deeply personal. With its blues- and jazz-infused beats, live instrumentation, and raw lyrical honesty, Real Eyes Realize Real Lies has always been more than music – it’s a window into the soul of an artist determined to shed light on the darkness that so many women (and men) face.

The re-release of Real Eyes Realize Real Lies is not only a celebration of its timelessness but also a reminder of the album’s unwavering mission to empower women. Holly Dish’s work is rooted in authenticity – an unfiltered and fearless exploration of relationships, identity, love, and loss. With every track, she challenges societal expectations, encouraging listeners to embrace their truth and find strength in vulnerability.

As Holly Dish has said, “Real Eyes is me in HD – full exposure, no makeup. It’s my story, and through it, I hope to give women everywhere the courage to tell theirs.” This re-release invites a new generation to experience the raw power of Holly’s testimony while giving long-time fans the chance to rediscover the album that started it all.


The 10th anniversary edition features the bonus track “Eyes Wide Shut” featuring LA-based conscious hip-hop crew Quest One. Originally left off the 2015 release, the track’s profound message and deep meaning have only grown more relevant in light of the events and shifts that have unfolded in the years since the album’s debut.


Join us in celebrating a decade of Real Eyes Realize Real Lies – a true masterpiece that continues to inspire, heal, and empower. Stay tuned for release details, streaming links, and special events honoring this milestone.
