Nneka has announced summer tour dates in support of her forthcoming studio album ‘My Fairy Tales’, due out May 26th on Bushqueen Music. The German Nigerian soul singer/songwriter and actress has previously released three full-length albums, most recently 2011’s ‘Soul Is Heavy’. See below for the tour dates. Tickets for select shows are on sale now.
‘My Fairy Tales’ was recorded and produced in France, Denmark and Nigeria while Nneka was living in Paris. It was produced by Mounir Maarouf, the Danish Silver Bullit team and The Slag. With this album, Nneka sought to tackle subjects related to the politics of her birthplace and her own personal voyage of discovery. “My Fairy Tales is a concept album, exploring the lives of Africans in the diaspora and the struggles they face,” she explained. “How we cope hustling in ‘another man’s land,’ but also the aspects of endurance, perseverance and gratitude.”
