Martina describes the material on Unity as "uptempo rock”, but several ballads help even things out. Standout tracks (and their creative inspiration) include:

“Unity” - “It's a wake up call for those who only seek satisfaction in the material world. The true wealthiness begins from the inside of ourselves."

“Never Let You Down” - “A proposal to someone who has been through bad relationship experiences."

“World Has Gone Mad” - “Today in the western world we spend more time in front of a screen than we spend time in nature or with loved ones. Life passes by quickly without really noticing it. If we don’t open our eyes to the real world we might miss what really happens."

“Spirit Of Light” - “To all the young ones out there who has their lives in front of them. How valuable they are and to tell them how fantastic they are."

“I Am Mining” - “Ones that seek shall find. Its about to find whatever you are searching for and never give up even if it seems impossible."

“Love Keeps Turning Away” - “The game of love. Even if you fail you got to try it again."

“Moment Of Truth” - “It's about being in a relationship where the truth came out about lies and betrayals."

“This Love Is Crazy” - “Someone is playing with your emotions and you realize you gotta get out of it."
