Elmiene signs to Polydor/Def Jam Recordings and releases new single "Mad At Fire"
UK musician Elmiene, who was tipped by British Vogue at the top of the year as one of the nine musicians set to take over in 2023, signs with Polydor/Def Jam Recordings and releases new single "Mad At Fire".
"Mad At Fire" was co-written by Elmiene and Syd (The Internet), and produced by Lil Silva.
The song is the first new music from Elmiene following the release of his debut EP EL-MEAN that was released in March and arrives on the heels of his debut television performance on Later... With Jools Holland where he debuted a new, unreleased song "Marking My Time".
Speaking about the song, Elmiene shares: "Like fire still burns when it’s cold out, Like skies can still be grey in June, Like Bourbons are still eaten even though custard creams are better, I can still love you and leave you."
Elmiene's first introduction to most was through his music being featured in Virgil Abloh's final Louis Vuitton show, last year. Last summer, the singer-songwriter's first live show was in Paris supporting Robert Glasper and Yasiin Bey, and he was featured on Lil Silva's debut album on the track "About Us". Elmiene also recently performed at Glastonbury this past Friday on the BBC Introducing stage.
"Mad At Fire" is out now via Polydor/Def Jam Recordings.
