Wu-Lu hat die neue, herzerwärmende Single „Daylight Song“ veröffentlicht, ihre erste Veröffentlichung seit dem gefeierten Debütalbum LOGGERHEAD im Jahr 2022. „Daylight Song“ ist die mitreißende Leadsingle der neuen EP Learning To Swim On Empty des Sängers und Musikers aus Süd-London. Sowohl „Daylight Song“ als auch Learning To Swim On Empty zeigen die wachsende Tiefe und Bandbreite von Wu-Lus Klang. Während sein Durchbruch, die Anti-Gentrifizierungs-Hymne „South“ und das viel gelobte LOGGERHEAD-Album größtenteils von einer explosiven Energie geprägt waren, nimmt Wu-Lu bei diesem neuen Material einen nuancierteren, persönlicheren Ansatz.

Wu-Lu has shared heartfelt new single Daylight Song, his first release since his acclaimed 2022 debut album, LOGGERHEAD.

Daylight Song is the soaring lead single from the South London vocalist and musician’s forthcoming EP, Learning To Swim On Empty, out 17th May on Warp Records. The visual for the song is directed by returning collaborator, Ethan Barrett (Jeshi, The Murder Capital, Flohio).

Both Daylight Song and Learning To Swim On Empty demonstrate the growing depth and range of Wu-Lu’s sound. Whilst his breakthrough, anti-gentrification anthem South and widely-praised LOGGERHEAD album were largely fulled by an explosive energy, this new material finds Wu-Lu taking a more nuanced, personal approach.

Learning To Swim On Empty plays like a series of diary entries and is inspired by growing up in Brixton, death and loss, and the sink-or-swim feeling of being thrown in at the deep end. The EP also features poet and artist Rohan Ayinde and award winning author and former young people’s laureate for London, Caleb Femi.
