NEW EP

– PANTHER IN MODE –

OUT NOW

Across its six tracks, Panther In Mode finds Alewya blurring the line between African indebted rhythms and the cutting edge electronic sounds of London. The EP was preceded by the releases of the singles “Play” and “Sprit_X” – which have received acclaim from The Guardian, Dazed, i-D, CRACK, The Sunday Times, The Observer and many more. 

Alongside the release of the EP, Alewya has also performed a powerful COLORS session of the new Shy FX produced single, “Ethiopia”. The live session  is a dazzling display of Alewya’s live prowess and is a stirring introduction to her music ahead of the EP launch party at Folklore on December 7. Alewya will be performing a short live set, Busy Twist and Sippin’ T will be DJing throughout the night. Alewya will also be on tour throughout December in support of Little Simz.

Speaking on Ethiopia, Alewya says, “ »Ethiopia is a song that represents what Ethiopia is as a land and at its core. A quiet power that is extremely loud. Mixed with the dub element, the Jamaican connection is deeper than the surface usually portrayed. We bond on seeing each other, truly.”

Panther In Mode is another milestone for Alewya in 2021, a year which has seen her being included in the Dazed 100, dubbed as “this decade’s triple threat” by LOVE magazine and supported by Annie Mac. Panther In Mode  is set to be a moment of true connection, a release that is set to solidify Alewya’s position as a captivating new talent.
