Emika will this year mark the tenth anniversary of her debut self-titled album. A new body of work titled ‘Vega’ will be unveiled throughout the year, comprising a trilogy of three collections of songs. This will feature some reimagined versions of classic tracks from her Ninja Tune catalogue, including ‘Professional Loving’ (which was sampled by The Weeknd on his track ‘Professional’). ‘Vega’ will also showcase new material including collaborations with Horace Andy (Massive Attack), Leila Moss (The Duke Spirit), and techno behemoth Rødhåd.
Brand new track ‘The Anti Universe’ gives a first taste of Vega: Part One, and sees Emika return to pounding techno and ethereal vocals, reminiscent of her acclaimed third album ‘Drei’. The track arrives with an impactful video clip, continuing Emika’s Berlin Fashion Week collaboration show with DSTM, and featuring the Siciliano Contemporary Ballet.
Emika says: “The Anti Universe is a story of a civilisation on the edge of a new transhumance era, where the need for growing up spiritually was never so important as now.”
Each of the three parts of ‘Vega’ will have a different theme and sound, demonstrating and celebrating the diversity of Emika’s career to date. Where Part One explores her electronica heritage, Part Two will bring in elements of her two piano albums: Klavirni and Klavirni Temna. Part Three will move away from electronic sounds and explore the neo classic side of Emika’s work, featuring a string quartet. Together, the three parts will form one brand new body of work. The complete project is funded by Initiative Musik Germany.
2021 signifies Emika’s 10th year in the music industry and with that comes time for reflection.
Further details about ‘Vega’ will be announced soon.
“The Anti Universe” will be released via Emika Records on February 19th 2021.
