- The LP, out in June, includes collaborations with Le3 bLACK, Xavier Stone and Nova.
Loraine James is releasing her second album on Hyperdub.
Reflection, which arrives June 4th, is billed as an expression of James's lockdown experience. Its 11 tracks span R&B, UK drill, techno and more, with collaborations from the likes of Le3 bLACK, Xavier Stone and Nova. The lead single, "Simple Stuff," features auto-tuned vocals with lyrics that echo a desire for James to be treated equally as a Black and queer woman.
"The words for 'Simple Stuff' came very spontaneously but also reflect my immediate and current thoughts," she said.
James, who runs a monthly show on NTS Radio, last put out a full-length, For You And I, in 2019. Since then, she's released several tracks and remixes, including one for Cuushe earlier this year.
Listen to "Simple Stuff."
