Day 22 of our 2020 charity Advent Calendar, in aid of You Make It & Project Protect.
Singer-songwriter and producer KAVYA creates emotive fragmented electronic productions with r&b and lo-fi influences. Also a visual artist and actor as well as a member of band MOSKO; following her recent offering Quin, it’s clear, the New Delhi-based multi-disciplinary has so much more to share.
She collaborates with producer and keyboardist Pranay Parti for today’s track; stitching together elements of r&b, hazy pop and electronica with candid vocals and underlying bassline rhythms and sonics.
“It’s a little note to oneself about acknowledging little lies we tell ourselves to feel a part of this fast-paced and ever-changing world.”
This year we’ve chosen to split profits from the release between two charities, both of whom are doing important work within their respective fields.
The first charity is London-based organisation You Make It, a creative programme that offers young women access to tools, networks and experiences — group learning, 1-1 mentoring, work experience, start-up support and 1-1 pastoral support — giving them the confidence to transform their lives through personal empowerment.
The second is Nigeria-based initiative Project Protect, a subdivision of Burna Boy’s charitable NGO The Reach, launched to help provide financial, medical and legal resources for EndSars protestors during and after the protests.
Check the below playlist for all tracks in our Calendar.
