Love as a revolutionary act
To choose connection in a culture that often rewards detachment.
HADASSAH × KRIBO’W MENDEZ
Ten songs. Two artists. Four hundred kilometres of distance.
One argument: love changes what is possible.
THE THESIS
Filia Lovechild is a musical conversation about love as friendship, desire, faith, forgiveness, selfhood, creative partnership and human connection.
THE ALBUM
06 / 11 / 2026
A ten-track 3-step fusion project built remotely between two cities and two creative lives.
Hadassah brings the voice, poetry and songcraft. Kribo’w Mendez brings the decks, production and a deep instinct for movement, rhythm and musical storytelling.
Together, they ask a deceptively simple question: what happens when we treat love as an act rather than an abstraction?
THE DOCUMENTARY
Distance used to be a barrier to collaboration. Technology has made it negotiable.
The Distance Project follows the making of Love Is A Revolution across roughly 400 kilometres — through calls, sessions, delays, everyday life, creative arguments and the strange intimacy of making something together from apart.
It is also a look at what independent creatives can do with the tools now available to them, including the expanding role of digital production and AI.
Ultimately, it is less a story about technology than about what people do with it.
Watch the documentaryTHE VOICE
Singer-songwriter, poet and deep creative. Hadassah moves between soul, jazz, Afro-soul and neo-soul, bringing language, feeling and a little trouble to whatever genre she enters.
Her work is interested in love — love of self, other, God and art — and in making listeners feel heard while giving them something to think about.
THE ARCHITECT
Producer and DJ with a deep relationship to house, 3-step and Afro-house. Mendez approaches music as storytelling: rhythm, keys, texture and movement become part of the narrative.
On stage, Hadassah leads from the front while Mendez works the architecture behind the sound.
THE CONVERSATION
What if love is not passive? What if friendship is a form of radical kinship? What if showing up is a love language? What if creative collaboration is itself an act of faith?
To choose connection in a culture that often rewards detachment.
Fica Tranquila makes room for softness without losing rhythm.
Not the fantasy of love — the practice of it.
Desire can exist without turning another person into property.
Technology changes the geography of collaboration.
Old songs can become new conversations.
Intimacy is not immune to rhythm, expectation or uncertainty.
Kinship does not need romance to be profound.
Sometimes the generous act is knowing when to release.
The album leaves the argument with the listener.
LIVE
Filia Lovechild translates the album into a live performance built around Hadassah’s voice and Mendez’s decks — intimate where it needs to be, rhythmic where it wants to move.
