With his 10 mil+ streamed POLIÇA collab and numerous accolades like BBC Future Sounds ‘ Next Wave ’ , BBC Intro ‘ Track of the Week ’, and Jaguar ’ s Dancefloor Moment under his belt, Manchester ’ s Sonnee drops his eagerly awaited full EP ‘ Chalk ’ , featuring new focus track ‘ Love Now, Again ’ and new closing piano piece ‘ With Hope ’, out now.
Recently DJing alongside the likes of Model Man and for a sell – out crowd with ATRIP , and remixin g ‘ Everything ’ for Edapollo x Mild Minds (Ninjatune) and Sultan & Shepard (This Never Happened), the London – based producer ’ s signature mix of upbeat vibes , heartfelt lyricism and trademark use of foley/vocal FX has support across mainstream/specialist tastemakers.
‘Love Now, Again’:uplifting and danceable,as leaping beats with breaksy layers, contented piano chords and tinkling melodies support a sweetly high female vocal. Ebbs and flows like a high energy message of love and Spring from a distant benevolent galaxy.‘The most optimistic and heartfelt track I’ve written. I went through 5/6 different versions, it was an idea I couldn’t let go of. I found the lyrics so pure and light I wanted to hold on to them until I found the right world for them to live in.’
‘ Chalk ’ EP: ‘ Love Now, Again ’ joins three ‘ Chalk ’ singles inc. ‘ Fever ’ (BBC Sounds Next Wave) , plus new track ‘ With Hope ’ . With this more club – ready EP Sonnee still tackles raw emotions and intense relationships with heartfelt honesty – the melancholic and hopeful, the thoughtful and the danceable. ‘ With lyrical themes exploring the extremities of closeness and feelings, this is my most personal and emotionally driven collection of songs yet.
‘After my last EP I thought about what makes my sound ‘ me ’. I felt like the almost collage – like way of writing defined my sound. Like throwing paint at a canvas or how a kid uses chalk, smudging and combining different colours to make a new one. It ’ s that feeling of having no idea what you ’ ll make, or trying to make a sound you ’ ve never heard before that ’ s really beautiful for me. ’ And for us too’
‘ Chalk ’ EP featuring ‘ Love Now, Again ’ is out now on Attack Decay Sweet Release. Get it here: https://bfan.link/chalk
