Aisha Badru, the Nigerian-American singer-songwriter known for her enchanting and introspective music, has released a new single, “Inside,” on May 5 via Nettwerk.
The soulful piano-based track, produced in collaboration with Badru’s longtime producer Chris Hutchinson, is a whispering ode to self-love and encourages listeners to honor themselves with kindness. The song is accompanied by a mesmerizing visual directed by Laura-Lynn Petrick, featuring captivating choreography by Nyda Kwasowsky.
Badru says that she initially believed the ultimate goal was to find someone who loves you, but later realized that the true goal is to love yourself. “Until you love yourself, you won’t really know what true love is,” she shares.
“Inside” follows the releases of “Path of Least Resistance” and “Lazy River,” both of which are also part of Badru’s forthcoming EP Learning to Love Again, set to be released on June 2 via Nettwerk.
The artist’s work has been widely recognized for its power and beauty, earning her more than 135 million music streams and praise from NPR Music, Okayplayer, The Line of Best Fit, Afropunk, Ones to Watch, Noctis Magazine, Get In Her Ears, Nothing But Hope and Passion, and more.
Aisha Badru’s unique talent lies in her ability to distill complex human experiences into simple truths and guide listeners toward introspection. As a result, major brands such as Volkswagen have incorporated her music into their campaigns.
“Inside” is available now, and the Learning to Love Again EP will be released on June 2nd.
