Zara McFarlane has shared her new single 'Black Treasure'.
The vocalist is steeped in gospel, soul, reggae, and jazz, with her absorbing, emotional songwriting earning widespread acclaim.
'Black Treasure' is a turn towards the electronic, with Zara trying something genuinely different.
South London producers Kwake Bass and Wu-Lu unite, supplying a dexterous digital framework for her gorgeous vocal.
Beneath this beauty, though, lies a challenging lyric, unpicking the often hidden post-colonial narratives that run through British life.
Potent and timely, it's a bold return. Zara comments…
“Black Treasure’ explores how the echoes of colonialism still resonate in society today but it is also a declaration, proclamation and celebration of black British womanhood acknowledging what historically has been taken and what remains innate within.”
