Emerging singer-songwriter Alana Sukul closes the year with her new single "Mhm Yeah?," a brilliant blend of modern R&B, pop, and amapiano (burgeoning South African music genre). The South West London-based artist taps into different sources for this tune which explores growth, freedom, self-healing and finding strength after a toxic relationship.
The music production is layered, energetic and punchy while Sukul's gentle vocal runs glide effortlessly over the rich grooves and scenic pads. Additionally, the songwriting is relatable, and heartfelt and underscores the liberation of breaking free of one's turbulent past.
Similarly known for unapologetically breaking stereotypes within her style, Sukul has been studying music for eight ongoing years and she began to create music at the age of 16.
Using it to speak up against mental health issues and the toll it can take on a person, she writes music for those unable or unwilling to express their emotions. After removing her previous work in search of a fresh start, Alan Sukul began recreating her sound at the age of 18 in the lockdown, all from the sanctuary of her bedroom.
