Much like her work to date, ‘Black Water’ sees her channel a rich and ambient direction, filled with warm and textured aesthetics. With her smooth and seductive voice layered over a heady mix of bright and enticing production, her latest collection looks set to become one of her most praised to date.
The record’s new lead single ‘Don’t Know’, which follows on from the previously shared gem ‘November’, gives us a clear insight into what we can expect on this forthcoming fulllength. Conjuring up more of that raw and euphoric direction she is known for, this new cut showcases her at her humble best, bringing back a broad and soaring sound that fits her immaculate voice perfectly.
Speaking about the new offering, she said, “I wrote this song one morning before bringing it to the studio of Hannes Butzer (who I coproduced this song with). I guess the song doesn’t really fit into the happy category, but it felt good to play around with the music and the sounds to turn it into something playful instead.”
To date, Adna has made three beautifully woeful albums; 2014’s ‘Night’, 2015’s ‘Run, Lucifer’ and the album ‘Closure’ in 2017. Supporting ‘Closure’, Adna played a packed Eurosonic showcase in 2017 and toured throughout Germany, UK, France and Scandinavia in the months since its release. Adna’s music has had more than 50 million streams on the large DSPs, and has had her melancholic, lo-fi work compared to the likes of Bon Iver and Daughter.
Adna’s new single ‘Don’t Know’ will be available to stream from the 28th May via Despotz Records, with the new album ‘Dark Water’ dropping on the 17th September.
