London singer Shaefri is currently prepping for the release of her new EP ‘Girl’, which lands July 1st. To coincide with the news, she has shared the title track of the upcoming record. Whilst the song is moody, there is also a dance element jumping from the production. Incorporating the tabla with atmospheric synths and an infectious percussion, the track draws inspiration from the #MeToo movement, with Shaefri delivering a piece that is anthemic and empowering.
Touching on the forthcoming EP, Shaefri said:
“Girl is me trying to find my place in the world. No one prepares you for adulthood. In terms of self-development, it’s a terrifying time. But it’s also exciting, not knowing what’s coming next.
Some of the themes on Girl are quite dark and serious, but sonically, it’s all upbeat and uplifting. I’m not wallowing in what’s gone wrong. I’m addressing issues and actual events that are affecting my generation. Talking about them gets them out in the open, which is where solutions arise.”
