Sudan describes “MY TYPE” as her first “rap rap song” – “The song is kind of flirty and corny and sexy, because I’m hyping up my friends and also saying ‘These are the types of girls I like’,” she says. “It’s also hinting on sexuality – are these just friends, or women I’m in love with?”

THE BPM was recorded in Los Angeles, Chicago and Detroit – embracing the club sounds from those cities while nodding toward Jersey club, global dance music and experimental beatwork. On THE BPM, Sudan introduces her new persona: Gadget Girl – a technologically advanced musician who’s exalted by her embrace of technology. “I was never the girl in a band in high school – I could only express myself for the first time when I got my first iPad and started making beats on it, and when I got my first electric violin. I’m all gadget girled out now, but I’ve never felt so free as a human,” she says.
Sudan has her largest slate of headline shows in the UK & Europe coming up. You can reserve tickets here.
