About this item

Genre-defying London artist Anolah's adrenaline-fuelled new single 'Slack Line'. The single features guest vocals from lauded London singer and poet Hak Baker and will be released on Speedy Wunderground as part of their 7” Single Series.

From an upbringing in the midst of many underground scenes, Anolah's
childhood was a whirlwind of city-hopping, sound systems, performing and
creating. Now firmly rooted in London, Anolah's diverse experiences and
encounters with unconventional characters and musicians from many
backgrounds have been a wellspring of inspiration for her journey as a
songwriter and instrumentalist.

Produced by Dan Carey, 'Slack Line' sees Anolah’s far reaching musical
palette - which merges elements of soul, jazz, R&B, punk, and hip hop with
jungle, dub and breakbeat - come together for an incisive and empowering
sub-3-minute powerhouse full of hyperactive bass and glitched-out electronics.

Hak Baker’s guest vocals add further attitude to the track as their vocal lines
merge for its explosive chorus, singing/shouting “Yours and yours will be yours
/ Mines will be mines / Rats don’t get cats eyes / I hear u scurry all fours / Feet
to the floor / Chewin the slackline”.

Speaking on the single Anolah says “Sometimes people get a little too
confident in who they think you are and project that onto you. And it’s like babe we’re not married, I didn’t ask for your input so let me do me and you can do you.”

This 7” release also features a signature dub remix by Carey titled 'Dub Line' which sees the track knolled out and rebuilt, further accentuating the borderless and eclectic sound of Anolah’s musical style.
