Of Earth & Wires - Vinyle Bleu

Description

Sudanese-American artist Dua Saleh continues their meteoric rise with *Of Earth & Wires*, a decidedly warm, spiritual, and frenetic album that explores notions of home, humanity, and renewal. Featuring Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), aja monet, Gaidaa, and others, Saleh intertwines and deconstructs indie, R&B, and electronic pop with touches of Sudanese folk, UK dance, and reggaeton—sounds intrinsic to their history—all carried by ambitious, forward-looking production and lucid lyrics. Saleh's raw, protean soul style has won over fans from the *New York Times* and *NME*, not to mention their revealing role in the Netflix series *Sex Education*, making their 2024 debut album on Ghostly International, *I SHOULD CALL THEM*, a true consecration. Highly anticipated, *Of Earth & Wires* marks a turning point in their career while opening an essential dialogue around universal struggles. Beyond their musical activities, Dua is a rising actor, revealed by their role as Cal Bowman for three seasons in Netflix's hit series *Sex Education*.
