Things About The World That Burden Me cements Danni Baylor as a bold storyteller unafraid to blend cultural commentary with infectious rhythms.
‘Things About the World That Burden Me’ is me putting my thoughts and heart on record. I’ve always been the kind of person who feels the weight of what’s happening around me. These songs are my way of naming those burdens and finding the light inside them. Every track is a snapshot of how I see the world right now, but also how I choose to move through it — with honesty, warmth, and faith.”
Danni’s sound blends soulful melodies with lyrical depth, creating a space where listeners can connect with her personal experiences.
