My Music Episode 343 - Ida Kudo

Continuing the reveal of her brand new material IDA KUDO challenges Western conformity with her new single ‘Let’s Rewild The World’, released 17th January 2024. In a celebration of musical genres, ranging from beat-heavy verses to disco-esque choruses, this second single from IDA KUDO focuses on consumerism, pacifying comfort and the underlying pressures of modern society. KUDO kicked off her EP campaign late last year with lead single 'The Power That Is Woman', inviting the listener into an alluring pop universe, proposing that it's time for a new kind of leadership, putting people before profit. It’s a message that clearly resonated with listeners at radio, picking up multiple plays on BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio X, and also being playlisted on Denmark’s national P6 BEAT radio, with further plays from Amazing Radio, Islington Radio, Germany’s FRITZ, and more. IDA KUDO’s forthcoming EP Proud is a close collaboration between the Danish-Japanese artist and award-winning British record producer Andrew Hunt. Recorded and produced by Hunt in London and mastered by Stuart Hawkes(Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, Charli XCX), the five tracks across the EP revolve around empowering messages and socially critical topics. Proud will be released later this year.
