专辑介绍

Shura has announced her new album, forevher. Due out August 16th via Secretly Canadian, the sophomore effort comes three years after the British musician’s 2016 debut, Nothing’s Real.

The CoSigned artist born Alexandra Denton co-produced the record alongside Joel Pott. It features musical contributions from Jagwar Ma’s Jona Ma, Whitney’s Will Miller, and T-E-E-D, plus vocal performances by Rosie Lowe, Kerry Leatham, Nimmo’s Reva.

In a press release, Shura describes forevher as “a soul record, sung by someone who doesn’t have a traditional soul voice.” The lyrical content was largely inspired by her long-distance relationship, “a classic NYC-to-London, but one told through the totally modern filter of dating apps, unanswered texts, and Skype chats.” That was clear on lead single “BKLYNLDN”, and now that latest track, “religion (u can lay your hands on me)”, further explores queer love in the age of smartphones.

Layers of synthesizers and digitalized strings roll out a funky electro-soul dance floor on the new song. Shura uses the sensual grooves to express her growing desire for physical contact with her girlfriend from afar, and director Chloe Wallace translates that through religious imagery in the accompanying video. The clip sees Shura as the figurehead of a religion that features traditional iconography, but actually encourages lesbian love.
