corto.alto joins forces wth anaiis on new release, "APRIL"
Multi-instrumentalist producer, composer and performer corto.alto has returned with his latest single, "APRIL" a collaboration with the London-based, French-Senegalese singer anaiis.
“I first heard anaiis on a remix I was working on that she featured on, and I was immediately struck by the honesty and depth in her voice. I knew right away I wanted to collaborate on something together for corto.alto. Earlier this year, we met in London one evening and wrote APRIL - a track that explores themes we both connect with deeply: grief, healing, and resilience. anaiis is a rare and powerful voice in music - soulful, fearless, and honest. Working with her on this collaboration was an absolute inspiration, and I’m so proud to share it,” corto.alto offers.
“It was wonderful to connect with corto.alto on “APRIL”. After meeting at Theo Croker’s headline show at the Barbican which we were both a part of, we were keen to collaborate together. This song carries one of the main essences and reasons I make music: it’s a place for processing difficult moments in our lives, to feel held, and importantly to find hope. I was inspired by his song title which came from an anecdote he shared with me about life in Scotland which I found beautiful,” anaiis continues.
"APRIL" is out now.
