Currently based in Italy, the artist is working on her new album, titled Picasso – The Art of Loving. It will not be a simple collection of songs, but an ambitious project capable of harmoniously blending music, psychology, metaphysics and storytelling. A first, powerful anticipation of this evolutionary path is represented by a sound diptych that explores the courage of vulnerability and the tireless energy of the night, thanks to two mirrored and complementary singles.
With Fearless, Ka Ma signs a nocturnal and hypnotic piece that breaks down geographical and mental boundaries, moving like a Tao in which West and East meet. This hybrid track rejects any label and embraces Jungian multiplicity, giving shape to the archetypes of our psyche through a refined fusion of R&B soul, urban rap and evocative Indian-inspired soundscapes, enriched by Riccardo Di Gianni's sitar and the contribution of MightyMike. More than a simple listen, the single reveals itself to be a profound introspective journey of healing, tense between shadow and light: the East embodies the mystery of interiority, while the West represents the light of visible expression. In this fragile and energetic balance of opposites, fear transforms into a driving force. Being “fearless” does not mean denying fear, but choosing your own destiny by walking alongside it.
This research is on the opposite side I Will Sleep When I Am Deada modern soul song of rare intensity, capable of bringing the warm vintage atmospheres of classic Motown into dialogue with the needs for authenticity of a new generation. Driven by enveloping bass lines and engaging rhythms, the track develops as a profound personal message of inner liberation and reconnection with one's identity. Through a visceral vocal performance, which masterfully oscillates between vulnerability and strength, the artist celebrates the philosophy of carpe diem, inviting us to fully experience the present. The song thus becomes a real turning point: a hymn to emerge from indecision, overcome the limits and projections of others to choose your own path without asking anyone's permission. It is the definitive proof of an expressive maturity in which the author's solid British education emerges in all its emotional power.
The assumptions and artistic depth of these two tracks leave no doubt: Ka Ma is charting a unique musical route in the current independent panorama. The extraordinary ability to combine psychological introspection and international sound makes you wait for Picasso – The Art of Loving not only very high, but it gives hope for the arrival of an extraordinary, intense work destined to leave its mark.
