Stomping bass, frenzied city street beats, joyful vocals, and an electric guitar solo like a siren, this raucous riot of a single sees Mulele Matondo Afrika collaborating with world renowned world music artist Jupiter Bokondji on irresistibly impelling Afro-rock grooves, written and recorded in Jupiter's music shrine, in the Lemba district of Kinshasa, DR Congo, the capital of music.

Kinshasa Kiese is an homage to the vibrant musical city these rebel musicians call home… Welcome to Kinshasa!

On 'I wish I had a dog', Aderyn sets her sights (and tongue-in-cheek lyrics) on the state of her generation. In a punchy 2 and a half minutes, Aderyn lambasts landlords and music scene rich kids, with a breathy insouciant vocal in the verses that explodes into a singalong chorus. 'I wish I had a dog' is a song that would sound at home on any 90s movie soundtrack, and yet uniquely encapsulates the disenfranchisement of the 2020s. Aderyn says of the song "I wrote this song about the surreal times we are living in. The lyric 'all the girls are selling pictures of their feet' really sums up the absurdity of my generation. It's probably more common for a girl in her twenties to have an OnlyFans than own a house. As an artist, I want to talk about that."

Here's another 'early mix' from next year's (2024) album, You're Out Of This World (& Into The Next)! When you think you know somebody, & then you realise you don't, noticing that something is different. Something you can't really fathom out. This song asks the question, 'What planet are you on?'

You're Out Of This World (& Into The Next)!
