LA-based producer KUKAs debut album, Wrestling, is a personal and intimate collection of songs but it is also relatable in its evocation of universally human themes and experiences. In her own words, I like the idea of someone else hearing the songs and being able to wear them, to transfer the lyrics to their own life.Wrestling is marked by a conscious effort to produce tracks that work as songs (she wrote over fifty pieces before narrowing them down to the eleven here): lyrics are personal and literal, their open emotionality contrasting with the simple but hyper-digital production within which they are embedded. KUKA has worked alongside a number of high-profile collaborators, producing and singing on tracks with artists as diverse as Flume, A$AP Rocky, Vince Staples, SOPHIE, Fetty Wap and Kendrick Lamar. But as with her previous releases, the album is self-produced.
