about

‘I Seduce’ is the latest genre-blurring Afrofuturist sonic vision from multidisciplinary artist Nwando Ebizie.

In her radically unclassifiable style, the left-field polymath creates a dizzying convergence of experimental electronic music, call-and-response chants, Afro-Cuban drums and layers of dance-inducing, frenetic polyrhythms – spinning speculative fiction with the ritual cultures of the Black Atlantic, refracted through her signature mind-bending sound.

Inspired by the writings of poet, writer and activist Audre Lorde, the single dives into the profound sensuality deep within all women and ecstatically declares it as a liberating, poetic force to be embraced and reckoned with.

Having previously released experimental pop and electronic music under Lady Vendredi (her blaxploitation pop alter-ego), Nwando carves out a bold new Afrofuturist exploration in her first release under her own name. ‘I Seduce’ is taken from her upcoming album The Swan, a work of sonic fiction into the imagined world of a matriarchal community, to be released on Matthew Herbert’s Accidental Records later this year.

‘a renaissance woman whose experimental presentations dazzle’
- ColorRising

‘Suspended somewhere between reclaimed pop exotica and Afrofuturism, it’s perhaps with Ebizie, in the intimacy of a confined theatre, that the elusive claim to a new sort of live music-theatre hybrid gains ground.’ - The Wire
