“Remedy is a dystopian rnb track with a universal message for us from the divine to heal ourselves and come correct.”

THE RELEASE
wrote Remedy in LA on the night before the very first lockdown in 2020. The world has changed since then but the words I recorded that night feel more relevant than ever. I finished the track in my London studio and it brought me back to production and developing my sound into something with more form and structure than my previous more experimental work in my 2018 EP ‘Ek’.
I’ve been on a journey to find my voice and message as a queer Indian woman and my time in Kerala, India a few years ago helped me land back in my voice, singing and playing acoustic instruments again after some years focused on production. Remedy is a unification of my message, my singing and my production and is the track I am most proud of so far. To be able to bring all these parts of myself together and share them in this way feels very special and has been a lifetime’s work.
