Ebb & Flow, the debut EP by Toronto-based alt-R&B/neo-soul artist Shannon Chapman, was created slowly, from writing her first songs (including Walls) in December 2015 to making the final tweaks on the mixes and artwork in January 2020. During that time, Shannon reflected more and more on themes of growth, time and cycles through a kaleidoscope lens of contemporary neo-soul, 90's R&B and 70's jazz fusion. Through electric piano, woodwinds, vocals and production, Shannon explores these themes and their connections to self, individuals, personal relationships, and nature.
