Idris Elba, the multi-talented actor, DJ, producer, and rapper delivers razor-sharp club rhythms with his new single FUDGE, featuring the sensuous vocals from Latvian femme poet Eliza Legzdina

Idris Elba graces us once more with his latest musical project ‘Fudge‘ on his London-based imprint 7Wallace. ‘Fudge’ was produced on set in Elba’s sun-soaked Australian trailer whilst filming in the bush and quintessentially captures the heated asphalt afterglow of summer nights with sharpened drum programming and dense vocal treatment.

Ricocheting percussive elements ladder voraciously through the energetic arrangement, the low-end thumps like an elevated heart rate pulsing in unison to the track’s tempo.

“I made the song while I was filming in Sydney, multitasking baby. We sent it to Eliza and she smashed it out of the park. Ask yourself, who the Fudge ARE you”.

Hailing from Latvia, classically trained vocalist, poet, DJ, and femme icon Eliza Legzdina is one of Eastern Europe’s most exciting new propositions. A queer activist and proponent of body positivity, Eliza’s lyrics are loud in their sex-positive affirmations and explore the sensuous nuances of being a powerful feminine lead, and describes her provocative imagery as scraping nails down the blackboard of the musical patriarchy.

“Just before I got an email from Idris’s team, I saw a bat flying through Shoreditch. It struck me as an omen of a rebirth which is how I see the track. ‘Fudge’ is all about knowing you got it, you’re hot stuff and everyone wants a piece. The feeling of seeing someone so smooth and mysterious and hypnotising. Idris is a man of so many talents, so being able to jump on this track that had such clear vision was a piece of cake and a blessing of sorts. I can’t wait to hear this on the dance floor, this ones for the club”.

Eliza Legzdina’s promiscuous lyricism pairs impeccably with the rhythmically driven instrumental, bouncing an effervescent flow atop the bumping ensemble of kicks that stagger authoritatively through the mix. The tongue-in-cheek lyrical content grants ‘Fudge’ the bespoke Idris Elba trademark.

Launched by Elba in 2015 with the aims of breaking boundaries in dance and hip-hop, 7Wallace has released a diverse catalogue of productions and has played host to a myriad of featuring artists including Che Lingo, Tiggs Da Author, Toddla T, Kojey Radical, Cypress Hill, and Kahlo.

‘Fudge’ is the first drop in a new run of music set to come from the 7Wallace label boss this summer and beyond.
