In this episode of SoundStage! Encore, singer-songwriter Dominique Fils-Aimé takes us inside the making of her newest album, My World Is The Sun — a deeply personal work centered on peace, spirituality, intuition, and freedom.
As you’ll learn in this video, although the stereo version of this album provides some of the layered, enveloping sound that’s become a hallmark of her music, Dolby Atmos surrounds the listener and brings to fruition the full effect of her signature sonic style.
Dominique describes the album as a journey from sunrise to sunset—a cycle of chaos, reflection, and returning to inner peace. She also explains how the project became a gift for her mother, why she values authenticity over perfection in the studio, and how color, energy, and spirituality connect the albums in her ongoing trilogy.
From recording beside the water in a meditative environment to embracing imperfection as part of being human, Dominique shares the philosophy and emotional foundation behind one of her most intimate recordings yet. Along the way, she discusses the meaning behind My World Is The Sun, the role of peace and intuition in music, the symbolism of colors and chakras throughout her trilogy, and why jazz, to her, represents freedom itself.
She also reflects on the emotional story behind the album’s bonus track, “Je t’aimais, je t’aime, je t’aimerai,” a song about unconditional love that became part of her tribute to her mother.
