Aluna Announces Debut Solo Album, Shares New Song With Princess Nokia and Jada Kingdom: Listen

Aluna Francis has announced her first solo album: Renaissance arrives on August 28 via Mad Decent. The record includes “Body Pump” and “Warrior,” as well as a new track called “Get Paid,” featuring Princess Nokia and Jada Kingdom. Hear “Get Paid” below.

“‘Get Paid’ is an aspirational celebration about Black women and women of color getting paid, in opposition of the reality that we are consistently undervalued for our work.” Aluna said in a statement. “On the other hand, this is a song about believing we deserve to get paid because as society keeps telling us we are worthless, we internalize that notion, which is almost more damaging because it stops us from advocating for ourselves.”

AlunaGeorge—Aluna’s duo with producer George Reid—last released I Remember in September 2016.
