British singer-songwriter Aluna is back today with a brand-new track, and an exciting new collaboration with Jayda G – the GRAMMY-nominated, Canadian-born DJ, producer and Ninja Tune icon. The track, ‘Mine ‘O Mine’, just received its first play as Clara Amfo’s ‘Hottest Record’ on BBC Radio 1.
Speaking about the track, Aluna reveals, “This track was pure inspiration in the moment, myself and Jayda started with nothing and built the production, melody and lyrics from scratch, just following our thoughts and feelings about having pulled through 2021 and looking forward to 2022. It really is more of a memento, a snapshot of the beginning of a beautiful new friendship. I just remember laughing and enjoying the realization that neither of us are the cool, calm, collected badasses that we are on stage – when we’re in the studio we’re just a couple of goofballs that love nerding out on beats and wordplay.“
On their collaboration, Jayda G adds “It’s not often that two women of color come together to make music, even less so in dance / electronic music. We got together in my home studio and it just clicked.”
‘Mine ‘O Mine’ serves as the follow-up to “Forget About Me,” a collaboration with Diplo and Italian producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist Durante. The track was co-produced by Aluna, Diplo and Durante.
