This did not go in the studio yet and was recorded in my front room.

"Pretty Face in Purple lace,
Just moving on the sound of a dirty bass.
Nasty place about rat-race,
Impossible to find here any form of grace.
Empty eyes and cosy lies,
Creeping around hidden behind a fun disguise.
High emotions, slow jerky motions,
When all the roads lead to some sleazy promotions.

And when the sun comes out, it's time to go, time to go, time to go.
It's the morning, we can now start dreaming…..

You know that special time,
when night- vampires run into nine to fivers
And street cleaners erase all evidences left by the party-goers
That certain time -DAYLIGHT WARNING- could be late evening or early morning,
You know that special time when things are either beginning or either ending!

That time, half-time for full-timers………     
It's now been two days past my bedtime today!!!

And when the sun comes out, it's time to go, time to go, time to go.
It's the morning, we can now start dreaming….."

Sounds like Raw, Wild, hybridised mischievous mango, crazy pineapple, strawberries and a hint of fresh mint...... With ice. COMING SOOOON....
Woïnkpa! Yes, that's her name. A mixed ethnicity from France and Central African Republic (and don't even dare asking her where in Central Africa, as she'd point out your "incomprehension of the word republic!") who was smoothly rocked by the sound of her childhood travels.
"I'm a patchwork", Woïnkpa combines her cultural and musical influences around her strong identity. Witness, from very early, to dilemmas of conventional femininity on different continents, in different cultures and not being able to conform to any, she embraced and started to cultivate the individualistic aspects of herself. 
After being branded by Giggem as the 7th on a list of 100 "Hot songwriters in the UK", in 2013, Rob Brinkmann, who understood her crazy conceptual vision, approached her and in an improbable association between wild and subtle, the band was named after their lead vocalist.
A celebration of empowerment, charismatic Woïnkpa is talking from her heart and strives for what she believes in. A blend of delicate and fragile, but raw at times, her voice is a cross between M.I.A. and Little Dragon with an exotic accent. A strange potpourri of ideas combining unusual structures with the sweet harmonic melodies of a pop sensibility, Woïnkpa showcases her talent as her ability to switch from a naïve, fragile voice (almost dream pop vocals) to an aggressive, attitude, well-timed staccato verse. The production ranges from sparse to multi-layered within the space of a few bars, giving vocals and composition, space to breathe while at times morphing into a dense, lush sound. Woïnkpa will jump from light lyrics to obscurity, words that don’t always convey their first appearance. Immerse yourself in the whole. Your best guess is as good as mine.
