Description

New release on Detroit's Portage Garage Sounds from Kesswa who featured on Theo Parrish's DJ Kicks and previously collaborated with 2Lanes and John FM.

Soften [Deluxe Edition]' is a reimagining of Kesswa's beautiful debut EP, remastered & re-ordered, with 3 new tracks, including lead single "WAV", her 2023 remix of "Contemplate", and an acid mind melter by 2Lanes.
~~
KESSWA is the interdisciplinary artist Kesiena Wanogho.
Her work integrates performance, video, music and spoken word to function as a resource for emotional healing.

Portage Garage Sounds and Kesswa's collaboration started with a chance encounter in 2019, leading to film scores, performances with the Live Ensemble, a striking vocal duet with John FM on 2Lanes's "Baby's Born To Fish...", and the pandemic-era multimedia video / performance "Is My Mind A Machine Gun?" (with Shigeto and Vinnie Massimino).

In the past year, Kesswa provided backing vocals on the Sudan Archives single "Home Maker", appeared on Theo Parrish's DJ-Kicks with "Chasing Delerium" (feat. Nova Zai), received the prestigious Kresge Artist Fellowship in Film & Music, and was featured in Season 7 of Google's Creator Labs.
