Heerlijk chillen op deze upbeat jazzy tunes van Helena Debono ... hmmmmm. Er hangt dan misschien een gevoel van droefheid over het nummer, dat geïnspireerd is op het boek (met dezelfde titel) van Hana Yanagihara, toch wordt je helemaal vrolijk van Little Life.
Helena licht toe: “I started to reflect on both my own and my friends’ experiences of suffering in love. From the outside everything looks great but only the people involved know the truth and how quickly things can change from being perfect to toxic.”
