Sans Soucis releases ‘On Time For Her’ EP with focus track ‘Games’
“this blossoms like time-lapse footage of a chrysalis unfurling.” – The Guardian
“dreamy R&B, full of synths and a booming bassline” – Fader
“Lithe and silky smooth” - trench
London based songwriter, artist and producer Sans Soucis releases the highlight anticipated EP ‘On Time For Her’ alongside focus track ‘Games’ on 24th September.
With Italian and Congolese heritage, Sans Soucis moved to the UK aged 20. “Regardless of how proficient you can be in a foreign language, it does take time for you to authentically convey your personality through it,” she explains. “Understanding culture and feeling integrated in a foreign country can leave a person in limbo for a few years of their life and that’s what happened to me.”
In her most vulnerable work yet, EP ‘On Time For Her’ sees her follow the arch from that limbo to reuniting with her authentic self, tackling childhood and racial trauma, as well as searching for her identity within a Western society along the way: “Music saved my life in this context. I was able to explore themes and sentiments I felt the need to express at my own pace, with my own words and in a safe, creative space,” she explains.
For Giulia, ‘On Time For Her’ is a life changing statement: “it means that I am finally here for myself and I’m ready to seek happiness in life rather than being stuck in my past trauma.” Her previous single of the same name garnered praise from CRACK and The Face as well as being The Independent’s Track of the Week and featuring in The Guardian Guide.
Previous singles ‘I’m On’ and ‘Red Coat’ (ft. Kadhja Bonet) also received praise from Fader, trench, Wonderland, Clash and The Independent.
The project drops with focus track ‘Games’, a nod to Sans Soucis’ Congolese heritage. Sampling the sounds of Congolese Rumba (Franco Luambo), it is a deceptively playful sounding cut. Lyrically Giulia takes aim with a cut-throat commentary on Western superiority.
It comes with a visual directed by Henry Croston. Following Giulia walking through a field in a striking red dress we see her shining personality, the reason for her nickname Sans Soucis (‘carefree’).
Effortlessly blending the sounds of Congolese Rumba, electronic, R&B and alt-pop with her perceptive lyricism, Sans Soucis is quickly becoming a breakthrough name in new music.
