b'Overcome with emotion,\\xa0Sevi\\xa0allowed the song to freely flow, recording it via an app on her phone.\\xa0Salty Water\\xa0is a reflection of the tears of the refugee children she is channeling in the song, as well as her own empathy. The song is the title track of\\xa0Salty Water\\xa0Sevillana Records, her debut EP produced by Grammy Award-winning\\xa0Jeff Bova,\\xa0Phillip Jarrell, and\\xa0Sevi\\xa0Ettinger, mixed by\\xa0Jeff Bova\\xa0and mastered by\\xa0Bernie Grundman.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nNot musically trained in the traditional sense,\\xa0Sevi\\xa0hones a unique cognizance of arrangement and creativity. She writes songs in three or four part harmonies and background parts, that are not just for coloring but part of the definitive body of the song. She can\\u2019t hear the song without them.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nHer social consciousness and emotional maturity also permeates through the other three songs on the EP. The vibrant danceable bounce of\\xa0Live ,Daydream\\u2026Dream The Things No One\\u2019s Dreamt Before\\xa0and\\xa0Don\\u2019t Fall Behind,\\xa0in which\\xa0Sevi\\xa0posits that the world seems out of control, give way to the deeply personal ballad\\xa0\\u201cEyes.My EP is dedicated to the people who can\\u2019t be who they want to be due to fear, violence, and discrimination,\\xa0states\\xa0Sevi.\\xa0This is expressed in the EP\\u2019s artwork, whereby the colored smoke depicts the bombed cities like Aleppo, which ejected the dust-covered faces of the children without homes, forced into a totally alienating bewildering future. No matter your age, we all have a voice to be part of the solution, and not part of the problem,\\xa0she continues.Bringing the story full circle,\\xa0Sevi\\xa0is a top fundraiser for USA for UNHCR\\u2019s (the UN Refugee Agency) A Mile Togethercampaign, benefitting refugees.'
