“This EP  is a nod to the end of summer, and the feelings that come as we reflect on the vibrancy of the season. Summer’s my favourite time of the year, and everytime it ends, I’m usually thinking about the next, looking forward to long days and warm nights again. It’s in that spirit that I wrote these three songs, and I hope the positive vibes translate.”

Each of the three singles encapsulates Del’s signature sound, an upbeat blend of hip-hop and R&B whilst channeling inspiration from Del’s multi-cultural  upbringing, having lived in Tanzania, Mauritius, Kenya and now Canada. 

Exploring various themes, the songs bring an individual feel whilst staying true the overarching Summer vibe. “UNI” delves into Summer love and  “the warmth of developing a relationship against the odds” incorporating a jazz guitar loop with a catchy R&B hook. Second track, “Karma” features a verse from fellow Nigerian-Canadian rapper Ojo, and an Afrobeat inspired by both artists native home and artist Fela Kuti. Closing track,  “Heatwave” originally from Del’s  “Songs About Her” LP (2018) is a remix with French production trio 3 Monkeyz.
