Aifen 'I've Been a Body' Album Release

Live performance of Polish-Chinese artist Ai fen's third studio album 'I've Been a Body' at Archa+ in Prague featuring guests Adriána Morn, Ema Brabcová, Kateřina Mala and Andreat Rottin. 'I've Been a Body' was released on Rome-based label White Forest on November 20, 2025 ‘I’ve Been a Body’ is a manifesto of our physicality utilizing motherhood as a lens through which to examine a transcendence arising from the body’s ephemerality. Motherhood need not necessarily be experienced as the becoming of, but rather as a concept to delve into our tender corporeality. We all have mothers, we are all born through a body that is Other. Moving effortlessly from flute to piano, folk songs and traditional Chinese instruments, the album explores the artist’s identity with the added layer of motherhood. The grand piano is deeply present throughout the album flanked by layers of spiraling effects, recorded live. Ai fen’s voice takes the foreground in raw form, at times transforming into auto-tune or joined by vocalists such as Kateřina Mala, Andrea Rottin, Ema Brabcová and Adriána Morn. Devoid of electronic beats, ‘I’ve Been a Body’ turns to sparse acoustic percussion improvised by Kateřina Mala and Andrea Rottin of Oswaldowi.
