Lollise's debut album is her most personal work yet: a spiritual time-travel to the Botswana of her childhood, an incantation, a reclamation and a declaration of self. Childhood play-songs appear as dream-like interludes throughout the album, bridging the gap between the present and the past. This album is Lollise’s undertaking to repossess stolen land, reclaim her identity and find truth in coded stories; song by song, she is building a spiritual home that cannot be plundered. “I hit the water” comes from a Setswana riddle: “I hit Mpipi and Mpipi refused to break. Who or what is Mpipi?” Mpipi is water or mud. Lollise's music is as multi-layered as her identity, moving elegantly through lineages and textures which grow richer with each listen. The songs on this album – sung in English, Setswana and Kalanga – display the scope of Lollise’s artist vision, with broad stylistic references including Kalanga and Setswana folk music on the deep ballad “Mme mma ndi” and the short vignettes that weave throughout the album (“Khukhwane,” “Sananapo,” “Moloi,” “Modimo”); South African bubblegum and kwaito (prominent on “Simon Says”); pan-African influences from Xitsonga traditional music (“Semang mang,” “iKalanga”) to highlife and soukous (“eDube”). Only Lollise could write the singular drum ‘n bass meets punk-jazz of “Iron Woman,” the genre-smashing Afro-futurist/new wave of “iKalanga” and the deep spiritual trance of “Blue Skies” and “Bridge to Nowhere.” The album is rounded out with a nostalgic R&B touch on “Paradise” and the introspective closer “It’s Me.” I hit the water is more than an album, it is Lollise’s unique sonic footprint, her living documentation of language, culture and family history. This music is completely, specifically hers, and it is unlike anything anyone else is making right now.
