Biicla – ‘Yes Place’
“For a few years, I have been thinking about where and how to move on. Constant trips alone, a new team, new friends, and endless thoughts in my head, as well as my first performances in America. All of this was like in the movies, and naturally it affected my music.
The album ‘No Place’ was about finding myself and in 2022 I think I found myself. I just decided to create a light dance album for you that will touch you to the depths of your soul, because it is inspired by the new events and people I have met during this time. I share my fresh look at electronic music with you in this new album. Its full name was: ‘Yes! I think I found a place’, but I decided to shorten it and leave it to just ‘Yes Place’ as opposed to the last album ‘No Place’.”
