In 2018, while continuing the album tour Sleeping Souls, Mystical Faya embarks on a "side project": the design of an album to explore other musical styles (soul, gospel, jazz, funk ...) in a configuration more acoustic than usual. The goal of the Chill Sessions project is to revisit the band's own tracks but re-harmonize and re-orchestrate them to give them a new, more intimate color. Each title offers a different orchestration and a universe of its own, always at the service of lead vocals and vocal harmonies.
