It's time the children of the English speaking world have a fun, jazzy, alphabet song.

Amazing fans!!!!
Thank you one and all for your subscriptions, supportive messages, and sharing my music. There are many more tracks available on my (expired link) page. Check it out and share it with your friends and family if you like what you hear. I'm on a little N1M hiatus while I work some recordings. Have a blessed holiday season and a Happy New Year.

Amazing! Your support means the world to me, and I'll try to stay in touch, but I'll be leaving the N1M site for now to devote all of my resources to completing the new album. Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement. Peace out, my devoted listeners until we meet again! <3<3<3 Lua

Hello to my beautiful supporters!

Work continues on my new release. Hoping for mid-2016 completion of a new collection of chants. I am so humbled by all of your emails and the growth of my fan base through N1M. Keep listening and sharing. Happy autumn - blazing colors, cool nights and crisp air. Staying up late to work on a track. Feeling inspired. <3 Lua

You are all amazing. Thank you for taking time out of your day to send encouragement, love, and support. I'm so humbled by your deep appreciation and sharing. Continuing to work on the new album and on my first spoken word piece (gulp). I was especially touched by this message: "Your beautiful music has helped me through an especially dark and difficult time."

How can I keep from singing?!?!? <3 Lua

Dear Fabulous Fans!

Thank you for all of the beatiful comments and encouragement. Your listening has boosted Ruins of the Heart to #2 in World music globally and #1 in the US. I am so honored and humbled by your outpouring of love.

I recorded a new single in January, entitled Divine Love. It's a bit of a change from my usual fare, and was written in response to the unfathomable violence that humanity is capable of inflicting on its own kind in the name of peace, freedom, justice, security, and especially religion. It is both a prayer and a call to action. I hope you like it and that sales (it's only $1.29) will generate some funds to complete my new CD. Please check it out and spread the word. May the world become a better place in 2015.

Yours -
Lua

Dear Amazing Fans!!!

Sorry I've been out of touch - but I've emerged from the recording studio with a new single.
"Divine Love" was written as a response to the unfathomable violence that the human race is capable of perpetrating on its own kind. From Gaza to Ferguson, from Paris to Myanmar, from everywhere there is a struggle to the hearts of the listeners. This is both a prayer and a call to stand up and bring change. You can hear a clip and purchase it here: (expired link)

Also, I have just returned from New England, where I recorded reference tracks with Dave Seidel (guitar) for six new sacred chants. These files will be sent to the musicians (cello, ney, drums, vocals, harmonium) to work with. Next step - I hope to convene with them in two or three months in order to rehearse and record their parts. Meanwhile, I migrated the fundraising campaign over to another platform and have raised a little more there. That campaign ends on January 20th. Please share this link with everyone you know who loves music and would love what we do: (expired link).

I'll respond to your messages now that I'm back home. Big love to all of your for your encouragement and support.

In these times of almost universal division and turmoil, music that gathers people together is vital. This blending of East and West, of tradition and modernity, builds bridges. While it is deeply rooted in Islam, its appeal is universal and it presents a face (and a female one that) that is rarely if ever represented in the media. Please consider a contribution to this important project. Your support will fund the recording, mixing, and mastering of a world class sacred music album. You can pre-order the CD via the various "perks" selections on the page or just contribute a dollar amount of your choosing. (expired link)

"Every rich spiritual and aesthetic tradition unfolds like a rosebud opening in due time. Today, we are witnessing the developing of an indigenously American tradition of sacred music that is deeply rooted in earlier Arabic, Persian, South Asian, and Turkish traditions. Lua Hightower's music, which I have loved and followed for almost two decades, is part of that unfolding." Dr. Omid Safi

Only seven days left to pre-order your copy of Tasbih, a new collection of sacred chants to be released in 2015. Pre-orders will help me get studio time and hasten the release of my new album. Your participation in my crowdfunding campaign will get you in-studio sneak peaks and bonus tracks, as well as the CD. You can contribute any amount or buy a fixed-price perk. If you love what you hear and think others will as well, please use the share tools on the site to spread the word on social media, and feel free to leave comments there, which also boost my visibility. Visit the project site here: (expired link) and view the video for more details.

I really appreciate the time you've all taken to subscribe and the beautiful messages you've sent along (warms my heart), and I know this takes a little more time, but I'm asking for your help to get my music out there.

It's official! I've launched my Indiegogo campaign to fund the 2015 release of a new collection of sacred chants in th SUFI tradition. Please visit my page for more details about the project and don't forget to share this link far and wide on social media to help me reach the funding goal. (expired link)

Thanks so much for subscribing and listening. Share the love! Lua

Thanks to all of you who have subscribed to my page. Spent Sunday filming the video pitch for my upcoming Indiegogo campaign to produce a new recording in 2015. Hoping to launch it later this month. Studio time is scheduled for the second week of January. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks again for your interest in my music! Lua
