Following a promising and joyful musical start once decade ago I thought we'd lost Calvin Harris for good to the hell called EDM. But this story appears to come with a musical happy end.
The new single "LTDA" by Mariama is dedicated to love beyond romantic love and an ode to femme friendship and community. On it, the Berlin-based singer teams up with afrofuturist artist Astan KA as well as Johanna Amelie, Ay Wing, Mya Audrey and J-JD. Ahead of the release, Mariama answered a few questions about the collaborative process, and the importance of love and community.
