Donna Thompson returns with a powerful new single ‘Fever Bubbles’.
Thompson is known for blending jazz and R&B into her own unique soundscape. Never backing down against difficult situations. Thompson faces off against fear, stereotypes, and misconceptions on her latest release.
“This is a remake of an older track. I recorded it with Rosetta Carr and Sofia Grant at the Total Refreshment Centre with Capitol K then put it together myself over some months.
Donna Thompson
It’s a song about fear and how it affects people’s perception of me as a black woman. Often projected upon and therefore constantly fighting stereotypes and generational misconceptions before having even developed a connection of substance. On a deeper level it’s also about having to rely on my senses and then feeling like they are being stifled too, leading to a sense of blindness and ultimately relying on the certain and familiar feeling of love for safety in an uncertain world.”
Upcoming live show:
17th July – PRAH Recordings’ 10 Year Anniversary showcase @ Rough Trade East, London
