<\/a><\/p>\nThere’s no doubt that Warp are\u00a0one of the world’s most daring record labels. Over the past 26 years, they’ve churned out a steady slew of game-changing\u00a0artists – Nightmares On Wax, Aphex Twin, Jamie Lidell and Flying Lotus, to name a\u00a0few<\/i>\u00a0– ultimately\u00a0carving out a path for genre-bending vocalists\u00a0such as their latest signing, Lafawndah, who is going to make the next year in music very interesting indeed.<\/p>\n
In an era where Kylie, Kendall and Kim rule, finding a cool female figure to admire is like finding a rare gem. Lafawndah has power in her presence and\u00a0in her beats – a curious new creature\u00a0for us to obsess over on the Internet. In her video for NTS Live, the Iranian native dons a men’s white t-shirt, sculpted nails and\u00a0hair piled on top of her head in\u00a0thick braids.\u00a0She\u00a0exudes a feminine\u00a0sensuality with her sweet high octane voice woven into\u00a0hard basslines,\u00a0all of her\u00a0elements\u00a0together creating energy, like a\u00a0twisted R&B\u00a0star.<\/p>\n
In true Warp style, Lafawndah has\u00a0a blatant disregard for\u00a0anything middle-of-the-road\u00a0and pieces together a visual identity and sound from everywhere she has ever lived or travelled. Be it Tehran, Paris, Zurich, Brooklyn or a remote Caribbean island, Zouk, hard dance and R&B intertwine in her 4-track EP,\u00a0Tan<\/i>, which is out on 5th February 2016. It appears that another game-changer has been added to the Warp family and we’re keeping our eyes on her next moves.<\/p>\n
We\u00a0stole a quick 60 seconds\u00a0with Lafawndah, ahead of her release. \u00a0Before we begin, take a peek at the video for the first single, also called\u00a0Tan<\/i>.<\/p>\n
