Sudan Archives

Sudan Archives

Sudan Archives combines left-field strains of R&B, hip-hop, and experimental electronic with hypnotic string loops and the fiddling style of West Africa, as heard on her critically acclaimed album of 2022 Natural Brown Prom Queen.

When Sudan burst onto the scene in 2017 with “Come Meh Way,” she was a violinist and loop maker producing beats in her bedroom. While her debut album Athena drew inspiration from divine Black feminine power, on Natural Brown Prom Queen Sudan is in character as Britt, the girl next door from Cincinnati who drives around the city with the top down. Natural Brown Prom Queen is Sudan’s most ambitious work to date and a critic’s favorite (Pitchfork #2 Album of the Year)
