Queens soul singer Dundita has announced a new EP. The continuation of 2018 Direct line to my Creator titled The mind is a miracle and will arrive on September 27th. Duendita shares a preview of this EP featuring new song “Born With Power,” which they created with frequent collaborator Noah Becker and pianist Paul Wilson. Watch its accompanying video, by Ameer Kazmi, below.
The idea for “Born With Power” came to dundita while touring Europe and was completed with Becker while back on the road in the States. “Working on headphones in the living room of our Airbnb while our friends watched Squid gamewe made 'Born With Power,'” the artist explained. “We played it on stage for the first time days later. Live performance is at the center of our creative process and we let these early performances of the song inform this final version. When we got back to New York, pianist Paul Wilson blessed the piece, which was endlessly fun for me to edit. The whole process from vocal note to final extraction was extremely collaborative and that's what makes this song so special.”
Earlier this year, Dundita unveiled their new single “Planetary” – their first in two years – along with a music video directed by Sandy Ismail. This song and the Joy Guidry collaboration “Feel” join “Born With Power” on the new EP.
In 2021, Dundita released two independent singles: “Open Eyes” and “Bio”. More recently, Jamila Woods invited Dundita to join her on her album The water made us where they collaborated on the standout song “Tiny Garden”. Duendita also joined the Wiki in its full length Half God.
