Angii Burkart Shares New Single ‘Running’
Swiss singer-songwriter Angii Burkart is back with her brand-new pop single ‘Running’ infused with dark and sad undertones that will capture the listeners’ attention from the very first note.
The raw emotion of Angii Burkart’s lyrics combines with the grandeur of the choir and orchestral parts to create a pop song with a folk influence. This is what makes her music so distinctive. She writes songs that are both a trip and a destination, allowing listeners to delve into the depths of human emotions through her music, all while accompanied by her faithful guitar.
‘Running’ has a melancholic production with piano, drums, synths, and guitar. Emotional vocals accompany this intriguing composition. She crafts original music that will simultaneously make you shudder, cry, and bop your head.
On the track, Angii Burkart comments, “I guess it’s the most intimate but best song I’ve ever written.”
Angii Burkart is set to release her debut EP in 2024, a collection of tracks songs that will acquaint you with her soundscape. A tribute to her artistry and commitment, keep an eye out for this next work.
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.
