"Daylight" marks a significant milestone in the artist's musical journey, offering a deep personal exploration of the human experience through original compositions. “Daylight is the first album on which I have presented my own compositions. This album is like my diary. It is very personal. With it, I open the door to my soul: to my feelings, my thoughts, my emotions. This music conveys beautiful love as well as sorrow and loneliness; it also expresses my dreams. I now invite my listeners to feel and experience them with me.” —Dzintra Erliha

Described as a musical diary, Daylight captures the essence of Erliha's emotions, thoughts, and dreams, inviting listeners to join her on a deeply personal journey. Each track on Daylight tells a unique story, from the gentle awakening of nature in "Daylight" to the bittersweet memories reflected in "Sorrow." Erliha's compositions resonate with the beauty of life, the depth of human emotion, and the serenity found in moments of quiet reflection. Whether expressing joy in the simplicity of a child's laughter in "Lullaby" or the profound gratitude in "Gratitude," Erliha's music transcends words, speaking directly to the soul. With Daylight, Dzintra Erliha opens the door to her soul, allowing her audience to experience the full spectrum of her artistic expression. The album is a celebration of life's myriad emotions, beautifully encapsulated in music that is both evocative and timeless. As listeners immerse themselves in the melodies of Daylight, they are invited to reflect, dream, and find solace in the shared human experience.

The entire album will be available to listeners in July 2025.
