The melodies on “Sweating” are buoyed by future-facing productions, drawing influence from her African roots and UK club culture. Alewya notes, “It’s about feeling chemistry with someone but also about a female who is not afraid of her prowess and power. It's a mood.” The hypnotic video for the song, directed by Jack Bowden, stars Alewya alongside a troupe of club dancers hypnotized by the song's infectious beat, their bodies pulsating and sweating to the rhythm. Alewya is seen on screen in the video spraying a large canvas hinting at her wide-spanning talents which include illustration, sculpture and visual art. “Sweating” has gained the support of tastemakers like V MagazineDAZED and Crack.

Growing up Alewya absorbed a wide range of musical influences from her diverse community in West London, and from her Egyptian father raised in Sudan and Ethiopian mother, acting as the foundations to her musical palette. Her ear for music was harnessed by the exported sounds of Ethiopian and Arabic devotional music from her parents, to the vibrations of ambient alternative rock music felt through the walls of her older brother’s bedroom, and from UK club culture as well as the Latinx scene in New York. 

Both her music and art are deep broodings through euphoria, heartache, melancholy and back again. Alewya is challenging you to remember the last time you really felt connected. And as she finds the connections between disparate worlds, Alewya wants to make you feel, and make you dance.

Alewya is the first new signing to Because London Records- a new era of legendary label London Records now part of the Because Music Group.
