Under My Skin premiered as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record and finds the South London dance music vocalist candidly recalling a failed relationship atop an R&B-flecked backdrop of dynamic beats.
It follows up her Moses Boyd collaboration 2 Far Gone, which arrived in February, while her last album was her 2016 collaboration LP 'Honey'.
Explaining how the collaboration with P2J came about, the singer said:
“It was such a dream to work with P2J, he’s a fellow south Londoner like me and went to school with my brother. He told me back in the day my brother was always saying to him ‘you have to work with my sister’ and when we met, I instantly felt at ease. We wrote the song in my studio in my house and it just flowed. He’s such a wizard with drums and even though the song is quite up tempo, the instrumentation had a pull of sadness too. I was feeling quite shocked and heartbroken at the time which is reflected in the song but I still wanted the lyrics to have a conclusion of hope, perseverance and self worth.“
