Soul Singer Tawiah Shares Breathtaking New Album Ertha

Lose yourself in the soulful world of singer-songwriter Tawiah’s poignant second album, Ertha, created in collaboration with artist Al Moore.
Ertha is a concept album, created collaboratively through a process of storytelling and musical interpretation. Through a series of original writings and poems Al tells a story of the human journey as one of “getting lost in order to be found”, suggesting that, despite unavoidable suffering, there is great hope in this; it is by navigating darkness that we find light. Tawiah composed music in response to these writings. The album depicts Ertha’s life from birth to death; her journey represents that of the individual and the collective, we also hear from the ever present, objective Universe.
The pair describe the process as akin to an actor and director working with a script, and the outcome a cohesive musical story as opposed to simply tracks on an album. Ertha was written and recorded at their home during the Covid19 lockdowns, it was agreed that the raw first draft nature of the home recordings is part of Ertha’s story and charm. Co-produced by Jodi Milliner (Kano, Sam Smith), mixed by Blue May (Kano, Joy Crookes) and mastered by Matt Colton (Christina and the Queens, James Blake). The album also features collaborations with Matthew Kofi Waldren (Welsh National Opera, Opera North) and Lydia Marchione (English National Opera).
“The process of collaborating with Al within the limitations of my home studio has been liberating; it forced me to work in new ways and to push myself musically. My creativity feels limitless and unbounded. I see now that, like Ertha, getting lost is what gives us the strength of character we need to find, and be, who we really are. I’m grateful for this journey” –Tawiah
Tawiah was invited to join Michael Kiwanuka for a preview of Ertha on his sold-out UK tour in May. On her return she was part of the In The Black Fantastic Festival at the Southbank Centre where she performed Ertha with choir; For The Culture Collective and full stage design by Al. The show was met with standing ovations and wide acclaim. Adem Holness, Head of Contemporary Music at the Southbank Centre said the work was “radical, intentional and powerful”, and his colleague Emma Hayes said “the combination of the ghostly yet beautiful imagery alongside Tawiah’s vocal was utterly absorbing”.
Tawiah describes her music as spiritual and soulful, and the sharing of it as her truest purpose. The vestiges of Tawiah’s early church vocal training contrast subtly against a distinctive South London accent, beautiful melodies and pure vocals, all attributing to her original, undeniable sound. With a well-earned reputation at the vanguard of the British alternative soul movement and as one of the country’s most exciting live acts, Tawiah continues to deliver heartfelt music that connects deeply with her fans. Ertha is out now on all platforms: https://tawiah.lnk.to/Ertha.

Kilder Unveils Stunning New Music Video for Single “Dusk Till Dawn”

There’s something hypnotic about the way Kilder captures motion in his music. With “Dusk Till Dawn,” the Amsterdam-based producer leans into his genre-fluid sensibilities to deliver a track that’s as emotional as it is danceable. It’s the kind of single that transports you instantly — from fluorescent office lighting to the glow of a neon-lit street, from the mundane to the magical.
Sonically, “Dusk Till Dawn” is a lush blend of house, techno, and UK garage – but Kilder doesn’t just mix genres, he moulds them into something uniquely his. Every kick feels purposeful, every synth line like it has its own emotional arc. There’s a warmth to the track that wraps around you, even as the beat pushes forward with that late-night urgency.
The music video adds a deeply human layer to the experience. Following the journey of a man shedding his daytime persona, it’s a powerful metaphor for reclaiming selfhood in a world that often asks us to suppress it. The visuals move seamlessly from drab routines to liberating nightlife, echoing the sonic transformation that happens across the track’s runtime.
Kilder is no stranger to acclaim, and “Dusk Till Dawn” feels like another chapter in what’s becoming a very exciting story. His previous collaborators and co-signs – from Issey Cross to BBC Radio 1 – suggest an artist with both underground credibility and mainstream reach. The Spotify playlist placements and syncs with Apple only reinforce that he’s being heard in all the right places.
What’s most exciting is the promise of what’s to come. With an EP due in July and a growing catalogue of boundary-pushing tracks, Kilder is shaping a space where emotion, rhythm, and storytelling collide. “Dusk Till Dawn” isn’t just a single – it’s a statement of intent, and one that positions Kilder as one of the most compelling names in electronic music right now.
