Stockholm-born, London-based singer Awa Santesson-Sey has unveiled her debut label single, connecting with Ebenezer for R&B-pop duet "F**kin' Love Songs".
In its very first season, AWA became the breakout winner of The X Factor in her native Sweden, aged 15, and subsequently chose to step back from the limelight and develop. Unearthed as a precocious talent and now as the mature and captivating artist holding centre stage of her dreamy, colourful new video, it's clearly been a process worth the time and effort. "I've always known this is my career for life so, for me, I didn't want it to be a one-hit-wonder situation," she says. "I was comfortable in knowing that if you worked hard and believed in yourself, you can achieve anything."
Now teaming up with rapper/singer/producer Ebenezer (who also produced this track), AWA says that "something just clicked" when they got in the studio. With word of this pairing also helping to form the bulk of AWA's debut album, slated for release later this year, now would be a good time to get properly acquainted with sounds of the future.
