Red Label imprint via Boomkat, and the likewise instantly sold out ‘Lock off the dance’ 12” follow up, on the consistently impressive Sounds of the Universe label. 2018 marks the year she drops her debut album ‘K.O’, via The Bug’s newly born PRESSURE label, and it has instantly generated incredible press and praise from the get go, via The Observer, Mojo, Uncut, The Quietus etc etc. A fine beginning for the Queen of the futurist dancehall.
