A couple of years ago Alewya Demisse, a British singer/songwriter, producer, artist and model, released some remarkable songs. Now she's back with her first album Zero in which she celebrates her musical diversity and ethnic heritage. Having grown up in Sudan as the daughter of an Egyptian father and an Ethiopian mother, fragments of this background can be found in her songs. She can best be compared to M.I.A., without, however, adopting her rebellious stance.
Her songs sound more like a fusion of Afro-electronic rhythms, Arabic soundscapes and urban pop aesthetics. Above all, it is her versatile voice that lends the songs a special sparkle. I wouldn’t be surprised if this were to become the next big thing.
