During a longer stay in her home country Nigeria, Africa, Chinaza decided that her next album should deal with something that is really important in her life: home – and especially the search for home. Immediately she started writing songs about this affair of the heart trying to convert impressions of the African life into musically pictures, sending the listener the dust and wind and sun and love of her beloved motherland Nigeria. So Home starts where her debut Changes ended in 2006.

Back to Germany Chinaza and her co-partner and pianist, Sebastian Weiss, brought together a fabulous band to record these new songs – plus others co-written by Sebastian. The result is a wonderful album that combines their originals with compositions by other artists – Nina Simone, Live, Nik Kershaw or Talk Talk – to bring out something bigger and more coloured.

But does Chinaza finally found her home? This is at least a legitimate question, as she also sings in the song ‘They Stood Up For Love’ ambiguous: They made it to the moon but they can’t make it home. ---nagelheyer.de
