The Daily Voice writes about “Freedom Is a State of Mind”
“How can we create more safe spaces for dialogue? A state of mind that embraces the freedom of others, perhaps liberates us too. When we make space for a balancing of different voices and ideas, we are able to broaden our choices.
Those were among the perspectives shared in an international songwriting collaboration between Justine Hansen (Cape Town) and Martin Høybye (Denmark).”

The Tatler: "Song Explores Impact of Colonialism
Martin was interviewed along with co-writer Casper Ace for The Southern Suburbs Tatler about their song: "Where the Water Was."
“Telling someone else’s story is a huge responsibility. We had to be careful to ensure we could stand behind every line of the song, since some people may find it to be controversial.”
Høybye says the resilience and resourcefulness inherent in indigenous knowledge are highlighted in the song.
“We as songwriters feel that if we can retrain ourselves to take care of water, in all its forms, we may simultaneously learn to address the challenges of environmental crises in constructive ways.”
