Of Earth & Wires

Description

Soudano-American artist Dua Saleh continues their meteoric rise with Of Earth & Wires, a resolutely warm, spiritual, and frenetic album that explores the notions of home, humanity, and renewal. Featuring contributions from Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), aja monet, Gaidaa, and others, Saleh intertwines and deconstructs indie, R&B, and electronic pop with touches of Sudanese folk, British dance, and reggaeton, sounds intrinsic to their story, all supported by ambitious, forward-looking production and lucid lyrics. Saleh's raw, multifaceted soul style has won over fans from the New York Times and NME, not to mention their breakout role in the Netflix series Sex Education, making their debut album with Ghostly International, I SHOULD CALL THEM, released in 2024, a true milestone. Highly anticipated, Of Earth & Wires marks a turning point in their career while opening an essential dialogue around universal struggles. In addition to their musical endeavors, Dua is an emerging actor, revealed by their role in the hit Netflix series Sex Education, where they portrayed Cal Bowman for three seasons.
