Release Notes:
Born in Nigeria and based in Germany, Nneka is a stylistically diverse,
politically inclined English-language neo-soul singer reminiscent of Erykah
Badu. Born Nneka Egbuna in Warri, Nigeria, in 1981, she immigrated at age 19 to
Hamburg, Germany, with plans to study anthropology. Influenced by the towering
legacies of Fela Kuti and Bob Marley as well as by contemporary urban American
artists such as Mos Def and Lauryn Hill, she also pursued a career in music upon
arriving in Germany. In time she met and began working closely with DJ Farhot
and made her recording debut in 2005 with The Uncomfortable Truth, an
introductory five-song EP followed later in the year by the full-length album
Victim of Truth. The album spawned a series of singles ("The Uncomfortable
Truth," "Beautiful," "God of Mercy," "Africans") and set the stage for her
follow-up album, No Longer at Ease (2008), and its lead single, "Heartbeat,"
which became her first single to break into the German Top 50.
