I didn't understand the meaning of the lyrics at the time, so it didn't affect me, but her voice left an indelible impression on me. Many years later I was asked to perform her songs and it reminded me of that moment when I was little. I agreed without much hesitation," said N. Lermitte.

Her music will touch everyone because it is real and full of love and faith. After all, Editha believed in music and the power of love," added the French singer.
