LIST PICK

UMA ELEVATE ME

Having followed the trajectory of Catalonian-born vocalist/producer Uma for a while, its almost safe to say she never misses. Combining blissed out vocals with ear-worm melodies, irresistible grooves and thoughtful lyricism, her latest offering Luther is a conceptual mixtape, “Based on a romcom fairytale, each track explores the different stages of romance: infatuation, the first fight, forgiveness, understanding, lust and finally the happy ending”. Following moments in the spotlight for previous List Picks 'Nothing Without You' and 'Rain on Dancing Men', 'Elevate Me' examines another crucial aspect of romantic love, conflict. She explains: “I have friends in relationships who proudly say they never fight, but I’m a strong believer that fighting is one of the most important parts of sharing your life with someone. If done properly, it helps to outline needs, wants and opens better lines of communication.” Splayed across a luscious soundscape, 'Elevate Me' is vulnerable, moreish and full of passion.
