Defected is proud to unveil a highly anticipated project from the mind of singular artist SeeMeNot, titled LEADER: Giving Them Their Flowers. The collection represents the hymns and praises of women, sharing lyrics written by SeeMeNot over productions from some of SeeMeNots favourite electronic artists in recent years. A melting pot of deep house, melodic house and techno overlaid by a sheet of jazz, soul and hip-hop sonics, this mixtape is an homage to women of the BIPOC community and their everlasting strength, wisdom, methodology and a celebration of their liberation. As the sophomore project to SeeMeNots first mixtape LONG OVERDUE: The Sound Of A Revolution - where a chronological diary of the evolution of slavery to abolition was the thread - LEADER features a more diverse application of harmonies and fixational genres woven into a story for the ages, in celebration of women and their contribution to the very rare parts of humanity we have left. Among its explorative tracklist, LEADER: Giving Them Their Flowers platforms the deep recitations of artist/poet Aminata over music from Eli Escobar on Gene/Sis (Intro), followed by a call to arms from writer/designer Fanny Vannier with production from Aaaron on Mother Reign. Defected stalwart Sam Divine also steps up to remix the focus track, Have My Back, adding her signature club-focused sound to the evocative production from Ivory (IT). These ladies are friends and sisters in arms; the conviction of women coming together and taking on roles as LEADERS, is essential to winning the war. SeeMeNot LEADER: Giving Them Their Flowers 1.
