about

Zimbabwe-born Londoner Kundai lives and creates art in the key of exuberance. From her fashion design to her unabashed exploration of self via club-adjacent outsider pop, Kundai’s celebratory approach to life––inclusive of vulnerability and uncertainty––takes shape on Glisten.

Vibrant forms emerge in murky territory and Kundai has a way of bringing them to light. Eccentricities and imperfections are welcomed in her production aesthetic, brimming with spontaneity. Robust rhythm sections offset delicate falsetto musings and playful mallets, while distorted hand drums careen over chopped and screwed chants and MC-style talk-singing. All of these seem to be familiar elements in isolation but strike a wild combination in synergy––a theme that might tap into the nature of the artist herself. The sum of varied life experiences and self-questioning that come for all human beings, but queer immigrants in particular, you can hear Kundai’s music practice polishing the kernel of who she is and who she is constantly becoming.
