ALEWYA X MOSES BOYD THE CODE (LIVE SESSION)

Multidisciplinary artist Alewya teams up with drummer and composer Moses Boyd on a haunting new track 'The Code (Live Session)'. Alewya's 4th single to date reveals a unique emerging talent who blends a plethora of genres. Guitar plucks open the song, with distorted electric guitar lines echoing desert melodies. It all kicks off when Moses' drums come in; a fuzzy and uncompromising sound. Alewya's rap and catchy R&B vocals are strong and assured, embellished with lush harmony. Boyd says of the collaboration, "My favourite moments in the studio are those when the flow is seamless and doesn't need to be explained. We made 'The Code' within minutes of jamming together and it was just that, seamless. I knew we would have great musical chemistry and it's been refreshing to work with someone as open, brave and inquisitive as Alewya. I know she has so much more great music to come."."This track came so naturally," Alewya adds. "Moses has a way of understanding musical language and weeding it out of you - I was truly grateful for it. "The Code" is essentially a song sung by the observer in me Observing the shadow of me. Captures what we as a collective and individually are going through - an intense dark night of the soul.". -Ellie Rose-Davies
