NEW MUSIC: SEVANA | BRAND NEW - A COLORS SHOW

Following a challenging year, eager fans of Jamaican artiste Sevana, whose real name is Anna Blake, can now breathe a bit easier as the singer has returned from the shadows and has once again taken the mic into her own hands with the release of her new single, Brand New. The new song comes as the first in a string of pending releases for one of the island’s favourite sirens. The song was debuted on Monday (February 21) in a performance on the coveted COLORSxSTUDIOS stage, a German music performance platform that aims to introduce and showcase emerging artists. The sultry and soulful original produced by Kelsy Gonzalez of American R&B band Free Nationals is a reminder of Sevana’s range. Driven by Gonzalez’s delicate bassline and caressed by Sevana’s background vocals, listeners are covered in her silky vibrato and carried by the groove with sensitive ears sure to prickle, and belly-bottoms tremor at the singer’s subdued, but still intricate dalliance in the octaves. Fans have been eager to follow up on the organically successful single, Mango. Brand New enters airwaves at a significant time for the singer, just three weeks shy of Mango’s anniversary. Under Protoje's In.Digg.Nation Collective label, Sevana released her self-titled EP in 2016. She made her major-label debut in 2020 with "Be Somebody." Sevana performed to a virtual audience at the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival in March 2021. Following a road accident in May, Sevana was charged with causing death by dangerous driving a month later.
