Nigerian-German hip hop/soul singer, Nneka, has shared the tracklist for her upcoming full-length album My Fairy Tales and confirmed her North American summer tour dates in support of the LP. Her forthcoming 9-track album, recorded across France, Denmark, and Nigeria, was produced by Mounir Maarouf, the Danish Silver Bullit team and The Slag. Through the album she aim to touch issues related the politics of her birthplace and her own personal journey of discovery, according to her press statement.
She was born (24 December, 1980), and she sings in both Igbo and English.
“My Fairy Tales is a concept album, exploring the lives of Africans in the diaspora and the struggles they face,” Nneka explains. “How we cope hustling in ‘another man’s land,’ but also the aspects of endurance, perseverance and gratitude.” My Fairy Tales will feature the previously shared singles “Book of Job” and “My Love, My Love,” which Nneka also recently performed live for BBC.
