Today, Italian singer-songwriter Sleap-e releases her new album ‘8106‘ via Bronson Recordings.
To celebrate the release, she shares the album’s latest single ‘Wolf‘, a cheeky love song in her unmistakable dazed ‘bossa-egg-punk’ style. She explains: “In ‘Wolf’ I talk about a crush, but love songs are cringe and love doesn’t really matter in the end. The only important thing for me is to enjoy the experience and write some songs”.
‘8106’ captures the spirit of play; the child-like instinct to pursue what you love without compromise – and here it is, that particular magic that rarely survives adulthood, remarkably intact. Each of its eleven songs is sharp, vibrant shards which, when you step back, build a mosaic of Asia Martina Morabito’s world: the growing pains of your early twenties, remaining faithful to your dreams despite the hostility of adulthood, places of escape both real and imagined – and the pulse of Bologna, her home and north star.

As a student of old-school iconoclasts like The Fall and inspired by the outsider streak of Jimmy Whispers and Daniel Johnston, it was not any particular musical quality of theirs that Asia wanted to channel in Sleap-e, but their confidence to “explode in a raw, free and authentic way.”
‘8106’ is Sleap-e’s most raucous, unpolished and playful offering to date, steeped in the influence of “egg-punk”, an internet-grown genre which seeks to satirise the tropes of punk with its danceable irreverence. There is joy to be found, Asia feels, in refusing to conform, and it has brought her closer to herself than ever before.
