SAYDENU
The Heart of Letting Go: Pathways to Light
The womb is the space of creation, tap in be aligned. Healing holistically - you know it starts in the mind.
This album is a gentle reminder -that deep down, we know we need. The Heart of Letting Go: Pathways to Light by Saydenu takes us on a journey through the insight of the divine feminine on the rise.
The Roll OUT...is saying the divine woman is as the sun in our sky
The beautiful imagery captured of Saydenu on this gorgeous blue background pulls you in—or better yet, it pulls you up as if you’re meeting the embodiment of the sun as a woman in the sky. The wonderful talent behind the imagery for “The Heart of Letting Go: Pathways to Light,” Anitra (@anitraisler5), is currently based in Atlanta. Anitra describes herself as an image maker, and honestly, we see it. To pair with this beautiful imagery of her essence, Saydenu is rolling out products that speak to the simple luxuries of self-care that the Divine feminine enjoys.
Steam
One thing a sun will create with heat over a cool lake is steam baby! Saydenu launches a carefully crafted Yoni Steam blend, catering to the sacred space of women as she also does so well through her music. Very on-brand.
In just 120 seconds of your time you can order a Yoni Steam blend of and listen to the track on the album “Steam” with renewed confidence. Artistic illustration of a moment and providing the materials for that moment is gold. Saydenu not only does this once but twice in this rollout – “Can I get some Say Butta though.”
Say Butter
To compliment her sultry smooth voice Saydenu has announced that she’s launching a whipped shea line called “Say Butter.” Catering to one’s natural glow is also very on brand for the radiant artist. Similar to the track Steam and the Yoni Steam Blend, Saydenu so eloquently introduces us to the benefits of shea butter on her track Say Butter. Something very unique about this line of luxurious moisturizing whipped Say Butter is that each scent has been endowed with one of the fruits of the spirit – accompanied with a scripture related to each fruit. The love, care, and pure intention is felt with this rollout.
The Record
Rise to Radiance is the debut album by the rising artist Saydenu. The album is a true collage of the deep reflections, community and gentle reminders on your way up.

Introduction
When track 2 begins, the first couple of beats of “24” evoke the opening of “On & On” by Erykah Badu. Then the beat drops, and in comes the smooth, sultry, sweet voice of Saydenu, bringing a whole new sound. Appreciate the bridge from nostalgia to the reassurance that we get to experience something new. This track introduces the listener to a journey of growth that we all know well—every 24 hours that we are blessed with, and the optimism of the possibilities in what we can do with it. It poses a question: will you repeat the same cycles or start a new beginning? So beautifully and intentionally, Saydenu includes “IDK” and it has a way of allowing the listener to feel like “not knowing” is okay and the journey is about finding that out, finding you. The masculine perspective she brings with the feature in “IDK” is right on time, and then the songstress surprises us with sultry rap bars!
"Mindfulness meditation. It helps with preparation for the unseen. Unspoken. Growing my bean. I'm focused no in between. I hope you know what I mean."
Vibe
The album has a relaxed, meditative production with an uplifting bounciness to it as well. By “Womb Meditation,” the listener is in a diary whose pages are inspiring to the divine feminine, catalyzing healing and respect for the sacred space that is the Woman. Saydenu beautifully and eloquently offers the divine feminine simple solutions for maintaining softness, peace, creativity, and gentle strength. Like a goddess, she knows she will stay moisturized, steamed, refreshed, and have all the tools needed to be renewed into the version of herself she loves the most while listening to the affirmations divinely created for her from this album—that is what is felt. The masculine energy she delicately placed in the album brings the listener wisdom, offering a complementary strong voice of reason and balance.
Reminder
Throughout the album, there are gems and gentle reminders for women and anyone focused on self-improvement. It gives the listener the audacity to be deliberate about their journey and growth. Evolution is inevitable, and it’s valuable to have those necessary gentle reminders for those dedicated to doing the work—those focused on growing the fruits of the spirit.
There is a huge presence of community in this album, with the surprises Saydenu sprinkles throughout – a powerful reminder that we are not taking on life, the growing process, and new beginnings alone.
Closing Remarks
Smooth, beautiful, and meaningful! The record as a whole stamped these three things boldly and timelessly:
- KEEP YOUR HEART LIGHT, LETTING GO IS AN ART TO EMBRACE NEW BEGINNINGS
- TAKE GOOD, MINDFUL, CONSISTENT CARE OF YOURSELF
- THERE IS POWER IN COMMUNITY
