"Flatline (Make Me Lose My Mind)" is another piece of Afropop brilliance from Aadae
With her debut EP due at the start of November, Peckham's Aadae has unveiled another taster from the record.
Following on from "Die Happy", the Nigeria-born singer returns to her African roots for the stirringly euphoric "Flatline (Make Me Lose My Mind)"
Mixing Highlife-style horns with soulful keys and a defiant, almost militaristic drumbeat which would be at home at a South London UKG night, the track switches back and forth between being openly vulnerable and boldly ardent. Aadae's voice is a dream, pulling from her gospel tradition as much as it does from western pop - it's filled with rare personality, maturity and seamless cross-pollination. "Flatline" is brilliant stuff.
