Aluna’s got something for you!
Today, Aluna dropped the official music video for her latest single “The Recipe” featuring KAYTRANADA and Rema. It’s a royal affair for a song about owning who you are and normalizing doing the most.
“As someone who has an inferiority complex and difficulty feeling confident, I’m introducing myself as a new person,” Aluna says of the track. “I decided, ‘Be honest. Don’t pretend you’re a chill, low-key, and low-maintenance person, because you’re simply not. You’re an absolute basket case, and you need it all, or the relationship won’t work’.”
Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
Aluna adds, “I wanted to play with the way history has been dictated to us. Growing up in England you are constantly exposed to glamorous white history of period dramas without a black person in sight. I feel that since the British Empire was so heavily funded by slavery that history is ours too, we’ve just never been pictured in the finery…and I wanted to see what that would look like.”
