Breaking a two-year hiatus following 2009's
Spandex Rhymes & Soul, US emcee, singer, presenter, host and artist
Amanda Diva releases her latest EP,
Madame Monochrome; inspired by her recent trip to Europe - and today presented to you by SoulCulture and our blogging comrade across the pond,
DDotOmen.
Keeping busy hosting shows, painting art [
which she sells here], developing a TV show and speaking at US colleges among other things, Diva stepped back from music for a minute out of frustration "with America's obsession with image over artistry and money over musicality." But a recent trip to Europe to perform in Berlin and Paris showed her that there is still a world that appreciates true artistry... Renewed, she came back to the states, got back on the mic, and found her way to
Madame Monochrome.
Alongside the project's
Ski Beatz-produced single, "
Manchild,"
Madame Monochrome also features production by
James Poyser, Droop E, Cook Classics, Haydn, BlacSoap, Ruby Hornet, Asahi Suzuki and
BDK. Preview and download the 10-track EP below, with an additional promo video for "Trendsettas".
