Ragda is a new Irish artist whose music touches on elements of hip-hop, experimental electronics, and spoken-word. In advance of an upcoming album, Ragda is releasing 'Look For Me', a three-track EP that takes in themes of emigration, identity, place and mythology. The release includes a 10 minute visual piece by Dublin artist Aisling Phelan featuring dancer Rosie Stebbing and 3D mappings of Dalymount Park.
'Look For Me' and 'Faded Hope' feature Ragda on beats and lyrics, moving from 2-step energy to reverb soaked chords and contemplative lyrics. Final track 'Run' has musician Jessy Lord (Jessy Lord, ECHO, Benny Smiles) deliver a haunting vocal performance over the piano and vocoder of Ragda.
