Alina Baraz was born on September 24, 1993, in Cleveland, Ohio, to Russian-Ukrainian parents. She was the first child in her family born in United States. Growing up, her parents raised her on classical music, and on her own, she became interested in '90s music and singers such as Adele, Amy Winehouse and Corinne Bailey Rae. She began singing at a young age in her gospel choir. At age 19, she decided to move to Los Angeles, California to pursue singing as a professional career.

Hold me with your eyes
Unwind me with your mind tonight"
Ughhh best lyric ever.. I am so into this girls music..my god..
@CardizoneSemblance
I perform these lyrics with a lot of women I see on the streets.My imagination is on another level.Unlike Trump I don't act them out without consent or say them
@Shmaples
MrThecarfreak777 Errrm..this comment is a bit creepy..
@CardizoneSemblance
Shmaples I was kinda expecting that. sounded better in my head.Then again, given the context of the lyrics you commented no actual physical contact is involved but rather a very active imagination(which I have). So it's actually rather harmless.For example, there are many people on this planet I wish would die. But I do not have the ability nor the heart to take someone's life.Thus that thought remains in my imagination causing no harm.
