New Single Release: Kirsty Grant “Outerbody”
5 February 2024
In case you have missed out on following OURAA’s journey since her entrance to the music scene in 2019 with her first single release, ‘What Do You Want’, she is a musician from South London with an incredible voice and musicality. She is a self-proclaimed “pick-n-mix” artist, meaning she takes great joy in mixing and exploring different genres of music that best support her artistic aims and message. Her sound so far has included features reminiscent of R&B, Afro-swing, gospel, jazz, alternative soul, afro beats, and pop genres. OURAA is a favourite here at New Age Magazine, with her infectious positive personality that shines through in all of her music as well as her lyrical honesty, using her music as a diary to express herself and navigate her way through life.
The promise OURAA makes in this song was originally a self-inspiring message to remind herself to keep moving forward and not to give up when you’re close to achieving your dreams, no matter how difficult it may seem, which extends to the listener encouraging others and delivering a message of self-empowerment and hope. The unique rich gospel harmonies with the fast-paced club-like tune add a special quality to this piece, really compounding this underlying message. The catchy bass line, along with mixing techniques including drops and voice manipulation, produces an addictive sound, enticing you to listen to every lyric, perfect for the upcoming festival season.
She’s had massive growth in following over the last few years, reaching fans in over 76 countries, so if you don’t know her and love her by now, you are seriously missing out. She currently doesn’t have any performances lined up, but make sure to look out for her because her natural stage presence and catchy songs will leave you wanting more.
