ONEDA THE WESTERN WAY

As the arrival of her highly-anticipated debut album looms closer, the one and only OneDa drops a stinky new tune in 'The Western Way'. Fusing icy jungle with skippy beats and dancehall-style vocals, she describes it as "a metaphor for the western world—a place seen as a land of opportunity where dreams can be realized if one is willing to take the shot". Certainly one for after dark, OneDa's inimitable light a shines through, imbued with a powerful political message that sits at the heart of her work. Aptly named Formula OneDa, inspired by a lyric in one of her other tunes 'Off My Light', the Manchester rapper's debut album is an empowering celebration of backing yourself until you reach the top (released via Heavenly Recordings on the 4th of October). -Holly Mullineaux
