Addessa Shares New Single ‘Mirame’
Emerging music artist Addessa grew up in both Italy and Brussels. She draws inspiration from her diverse background. She was raised surrounded by a rich tapestry of Latin traditional music, the energetic sounds of the ‘80s, and the soulful melodies of the ‘90s pop and R&B.
Not only have these musical inspirations influenced her genre, but they have also permanently altered her artistic trajectory. Addessa is a musician ready to advance her craft because of her strong bond with her ethnic background and her resolve to break down barriers via her music. Her goal is to create a distinctive musical fusion that captures the lovely blending of her Ecuadorian, Italian, and Brussels cultures while also connecting with her listeners.
The Italian and Ecuadorian songstress released her brand-new single ‘Mirame’ on November 23, 2023. The track features bass, drums, piano, and Addessa’s captivating vocals in the ballad which expresses a mix of love and sadness in the production.
When Addessa‘s producer showed her a track they had composed, she was inspired to write the lyrics. However, they added additional parts to the song and worked on it for a while until the finished version came together. ‘Mirame’ is a sincere and unvarnished release that conveys her feelings and experiences from all throughout her life.
Speaking of the track, Addessa comments, “It’s about loss, losing someone you love, whether in a romantic or platonic way. It is an expression of my personal experiences and emotions. It’s raw and honest.”
London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Waz-u returns with his second album, Preludes: Dusk Psalms, set for release on 16 May 2025 via independent label Biodiversity. The 15-track record further refines the artistic depth of his debut, blending electronic textures and classical compositional techniques in an intricate, immersive listening experience.
Ahead of the album release, Waz-u is dropping an exclusive vocal version of ‘Vermillion: G Major’ from the album, accompanied by its original instrumental version. ‘Vermillion’ with Lilyg will be released on 18 April 2025, evoking intimate indie-folk and pop and follows the release of a vocal version of ‘Lament’ with Tom Norrington. ‘The singles are a way to give a voice to the atmosphere of the record and to lyrically encapsulate some of the themes explored,’ explains Waz-u. ‘Lily and Tom are good friends of mine and have both been listening to early iterations of these preludes – it felt right to involve them directly on this record.’
‘Preludes: Dusk Psalms’ marks a new branch of Waz-u’s emerging sound, guided by the duality of tradition and innovation. Combining his musical roots in early ‘90s dub techno and classical music, the album weaves carefully layered synthesizers and electronics to evoke the ambience of sacred music — from the gentle timbres of a choir or an organ to the quiet, open, and reverberating spaces of a church. Also featured throughout the album is experimental musician G9 LUV, who creates textures and drones by bowing his bass guitar, resulting in cello-like sounds. The release follows Waz-u’s 2024 debut LP, Prayer For Dawn, which merged dub, techno, and electronica in an exploration of the ritualistic traditions associated with both organized religion and dance.
Bringing the album’s themes to life, Waz-u will celebrate the release of Preludes: Dusk Psalms with a special performance at Our Holy Redeemer in Clerkenwell, London on 14 May 2025. Set against the church’s resonant acoustics, the event will feature live performance arrangements, including a choir, with further details to be announced soon.
