ERIKA has released her new EP through Pledge Music on the 4th of March 2016.
The ‘Onna’ EP was recorded in Latvia with Instrumenti (Shipsi & Reynsi) and sound engineer and co-producer Gatis Zatik using a variety of instruments such as tap shoes, flight cases, zips, boom whackers and old organs and pianos. The EP features five tracks including the recent ‘Fly Away Bird’ release, lead track ‘Kryptonite’ and a remix of ‘Pop’ by Hatcham Social.

A truly great singer – songwriter and multi instrumentalist, ERIKA emerged from a life coloured by the musical corners of London and Japan. Crafting beautiful and innovative pop, the mood can switch from haunting to joyous and from hope to despair from verse to verse.
Her voice has also caught the attention of some very established artists. She toured with MIKA as his backing singer, provided backing vocals and keyboards for Skunk Anansie on their recent European Tour and also recently recorded a guest vocal on two tracks with #1 UK artist, Bastille and Ella Eyre.
ERIKA also likes to collaborate with designers and artists. She has collaborated with Avant-Garde Japanese designer, Kei Kagammi. The dress he made brought her ideas to light. The dress using YKK cosmolon Velcro would be designed every night by the crowd. With the finale being a belt that attached to one hundred and twenty people spanning ten metres, bringing the audience and artist, together, as one.
Having completed UK & European live dates of her own recently, ERIKA will announce a handful of shows in March to coincide with the release of her EP.
