The Birmingham artist has shared the latest track, ‘Got Me,’ from her upcoming album ‘Pink Noise.’
Mvula wrote on Instagram about the song’s release: “Got me’ is out in the world!! Thank you @anniemacmanus for making it your Hottest Record and for giving it it’s first-ever play tonight on @BBCRadio1 – I hope you all love it x.”
The British R&B and soul singer-songwriter has released an ‘Official Visualiser’ lyric video to accompany her latest release, which features dreamy pink shadows and patterns to accompany her soulful but electric vocals, reinforcing the 80s funk ‘Pink Noise’ is expected to embrace. In a press release for ‘Got Me,’ the track is described as “a funk-fuelled release of inhibitions; another taste of the euphoric feel-good sonics Laura explores without fear on her new album.”
Following on from her critically acclaimed album ‘The Dreaming Room’, which was released back in 2016, ‘Got me’ is the third track to be released from her third studio album, ‘Pink Noise.’ So far, four tracks have been released from Mvula’s forthcoming album, ‘Safe Passage,’ ‘Conditional,’ ‘Church Girl,’ and ‘What Matters’ featuring Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil.
Speaking on ‘Pink Noise,’ the singer recently revealed that it is the album she had always wanted to make, “Wrestling with identity seems to be one of the rites of passage of the established artist. Making ‘Pink Noise’ felt like the most violent of emotional wrestling matches. It took three years of waiting and waiting and fighting and dying and nothingness and then finally an explosion of sound. As if it was always here, this record is my most honest and unapologetic flying of the freedom flag.”
She continued: “In my adult years, I had forgotten how important dance was to me as a vital tool of my creative expression. I brought it back, just for me, so I could find my delight in dance again. And now I can’t stop dancing. I can’t wait to play this album live.”
Mvula is delivering a second streaming of her performance ‘Under a Pink Moon’ on 26 May 2021, after the first stream sold out last February. ‘Under a Pink Moon’ was her first live show in three years, and the replay will be available to those who pre-order her album. “On May 26th, there’ll be another ACTUAL pink moon , and we’ll be putting on the ‘Under a Pink Moon’ Stream Replay,” she wrote on Instagram.
You can watch the Official Visualiser now on Youtube and ‘Got Me’ is available across streaming platforms.
