About this item

Two years after her debut EP, Meduulla returns with "Tabula Rasa" - a collaborative debut album created alongside acclaimed hip-hop producer Ethan Hill. The album is both a timestamp and a turning point in her evolving career: the product of two years of sonic exploration, vulnerability, and trust in Ethan’s finely tuned ear.

"Tabula Rasa" - Latin for 'blank slate' - is more than a title. It's a creative ethos. Rooted in the philosophical idea that all knowledge comes from experience, the album reflects a process of unlearning and rediscovery. Together, Meduulla and Ethan approached the studio like a canvas, throwing paint freely, allowing each track to take shape organically.

Paying homage to her poetry roots, the album interweaves rhythmic spoken word and cutting edge raps that demand the listeners attention from the get go. Ethan’s production, known for its gritty underground edge, finds new sophistication here. The duo fuses their unique styles into something fresh yet familiar - a dynamic blend of soul, jazz, hip-hop, and experimental flair. Birthed right here in Manchester but more than fit for a global stage. 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Super strong stuff here from this rising Manchester MC / poet. Imagine a Mancunian Little Simz, with just as much natural charisma and lyrical wordplay. Dexterous references that belie her young age, working sympathetically with the dusty, sampled-based production provided by the masterful Ethan Hill. This is the f**kin BOMB pop pickers - sleep at your peril!
