Belgian artist Roger Feyen, known for his genre-bending "Yoga Opera Rock" style, is making waves with the release of his highly anticipated debut album, 'Hoʻoponopono'. Melding the grandeur of rock opera with the spiritual practice of communal meditation, Feyen brings an entirely new, transformative experience to modern music. The album's lead single, ‘I Am Love’, serves as a powerful mantra that encapsulates the heart of this deeply personal and innovative project.
'Hoʻoponopono', named after a Hawaiian forgiveness ritual, offers 12 tracks that span an eclectic mix of pop, soft-rock, and pop-rock. The album weaves together themes of love, self-confidence, gratitude, and spiritual growth. Feyen’s lead single, ‘I Am Love,’ stands out as a healing and meditative anthem, featuring serene tones of a music box and the Schumann melody, wrapped in soaring operatic vocals reminiscent of Ave Maria. The song is both a spiritual mantra and an uplifting reminder of the power of love and presence.
‘I Am Love’ embodies the core message of the album: the idea that joy, love, and happiness exist in the present moment, and we have the power to choose them. “Right here, right now, everything happens in this moment. You decide whether you are happy or not,” Feyen says. His spiritual philosophy is brought to life through rich, immersive compositions that allow each piece to unfold naturally, balancing soulful melodies with intense rock crescendos and complex guitar solos. Throughout the album, Feyen effortlessly merges the meditative with the epic, taking listeners on a sonic journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
'Hoʻoponopono' is a full-spectrum art experience. In addition to his striking vocals, Feyen has meticulously crafted a performance style influenced by star choreographer Marvin A. Smith and various global traditions. The result is a live show that brings together the best of a rock concert, opera, and even communal cacao ceremonies for a truly immersive and healing musical experience.
With ‘I Am Love’ leading the way, Feyen’s debut album is a bold, heartfelt exploration of life’s greatest themes—love, forgiveness, joy, and transformation. 'Hoʻoponopono' is available now on all streaming platforms. Be sure to follow Roger Feyen for updates on upcoming performances and more immersive musical experiences in the coming months.
