Szjerdene Shares Her Glowing & Powerful 'Paragon' EP In Its Entirety

OKP Premiere: Szjerdene Strips "Transits" Bare At Red Bull Studios Amsterdam

Making good on the early promise of singles like "Are You Here" and "Faded," British R&B songwriter Szjerdene has shared her second EP Paragon in full. Made up of six tracks that benefit from the production talents of Lapalux, Quays and Glen Nicholls, the record is an immersive work--a sign that Szjerdene's untapped potential may be truly limitless. The track "Glass Age" was shared to commemorate the full release, and with it comes a new description of Paragon.

The time has come to present Szjerdene’s second EP in its blissful entirety, including two brand new singles co-written with Lapalux, ‘Abode’ and ‘Glass Age’. The ‘Paragon’ EP, is composed of six original tracks, each unravelling its own related tale of love, loss and self-discovery. Calling upon some of electronic music’s most exciting producers, including Quays, Glen Nicholls, and Lapalux, Szjerdene's spellbindingly pure voice and stirring melodies collide seamlessly with their own signature frameworks, resulting in a sublime, immersive collection. Since performing and writing with Bonobo on his ‘The North Borders’, and with Lapalux for ‘Closure’ earlier this year (also included in this body of work), Szjerdene has evolved into a solo force of nature throughout 2015. Watch this space for the Szjerdene LIVE experience...

If you're seeking even more of Szjerdene's velvety tones, check out her acoustic performance of Bonobo's "Transits," and watch her command the stage during the electronic producer's massive London tour finale show from late last year.
