OF EARTH & WIRES (BLUE SAPPHIRE VINYL)

Sudanese-American artist Dua Saleh continues their boundless ascent with Of Earth & Wires, a resolutely warm, spiritual, and frenetic album exploring notions of home, humanity, and renewal. ??Featuring contributions from Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), aja monet, Gaidaa, and more, Saleh threads and deconstructs indie, R&B, and electronic pop with flashes of Sudanese folk, UK dance, and reggaeton, sounds intrinsic to their story, all held together by ambitious, future-facing production and clear-eyed lyricism.??Saleh''''s soulful, gritty, shape-shifting style has found fans from The New York Times to NME, alongside their breakout role in the Netflix series Sex Education, making 2024's Ghostly International debut, I SHOULD CALL THEM, a proper arrival. The highly anticipated Of Earth & Wires responds to the moment as both a watershed in their career and an urgent dialogue with struggles faced on a universal level. ??In addition to their musical endeavors, Dua is a rising actor with a breakout role in the well-loved Netflix series Sex Education, where they starred as Cal Bowman for three seasons.
