Sexy, Seductive, and “Trapped”: Canadian Duo Release Provocative Single
Barbette Record’s latest single from Deanne Matley (feat. Azawka) offers a glimpse into a world of love, lust, frustration, pain, and the pursuit of cathartic release.
After a chance meeting in Montreal’s Mile End, Deanne Matley (a professional jazz vocalist from Calgary), and Alex Cook (a rock/hip hop-inspired drummer and producer from Halifax who performs as Azawka) quickly became friends.
When they both relocated to Montreal, Alex and Deanne decided to live together as a way to support and inspire each other as they established themselves in the city.
Although a collaboration project was not part of the original plan, it developed intuitively and naturally produced deeply satisfying results.
Recorded with the forever-funky Franky Selector at his studio in Old Montreal, their new single “Trapped” is a provocative ode to self-determination that combines Deanne Matley’s powerful vocals and lyrics with Azawka’s unique brand of electronic music composed solely on the Novation Circuit.
When you listen to “Trapped”, Morcheeba meets Portishead with a creative twist!
