Aluna’s fresh new song “Warrior” has arrived, and it’s the true definition of a power tune.
“Warrior” is Aluna’s second solo single, and was produced in collaboration with SG Lewis. The singer and one half of electronic duo AlunaGeorge shared her first official solo single “Body Pump” back in April, and has tons of more new music on the way.
Aluna describes “Warrior” as “a portrait of a woman in the shadows. She has to see herself, instead of waiting for others, by calling on that Warrior spirit, the one that makes us fearless enough to be ourselves.”
“Warrior” was originally supposed to be released last week, but out of respect to George Floyd and his family, Aluna decided to shift focus towards the greater issues at hand. She has been using her platform to share her experiences as a black woman in the dance music world, and educate her listeners.
“I set myself the challenge to reclaim a space in dance music for black women, a space currently saturated by white cis males.” she shares. “Music is one of the ways I fight and my weapon is joy, making sure those who have felt like they are not invited to the party know that they ARE the party. We have to keep fighting, but also……keep dancing along the road to equality.”
