Aluna has announced her debut solo album.
News of ‘Renaissance’ – due on 28th August – follows on from a smattering of singles, and arrives with her Princess Nokia and Jada Kingdom collab, ‘Get Paid’.
“[It’s] an aspirational celebration about black women and women of color getting paid, in opposition of the reality that we are consistently undervalued for our work,” she says of the track.
“On the other hand, this is a song about believing we deserve to get paid because as society keeps telling us we are worthless, we internalize that notion, which is almost more damaging because it stops us from advocating for ourselves.”
