Hannah Jadagu recorded her debut EP, What Is Going On? (2021) on a smartphone. The songs dealt with the experiences of a black woman in the USA and growing up in a Christian environment – topics that also appear on her first LP. But on “Aperture” the singer from Mesquite/Texas expands her DIY sound to an extensive album production.
Light falls in
The music is an amalgam of R&B pop (“Admit It”), nineties college rock (“Say It Now”), indie jazz and hip-hop mélanges (“Six Months”) and indie pop (“Lose “). Jadagu does not lose herself in the respective style, but keeps it gently musing within the framework of her already quite wide-open artistic personality. “Aperture” means “diaphragm”. Light falls in.
