Last month, Shura made a stunning return with ‘BKLYNLDN.’ The song marks the start of a new chapter (musically, geographically, emotionally) for Shura. That timeless look at long-distance romantic longing – if told through the modern lens of apps, texts, and anxiety-inducing silences – it’s a cinematic, exquisitely intimate examination of what presence and absence means in modern relationships; a passionate, tactile record about connection in volatile times; and, despite its cleansed sonic palette, still the unmistakable sound of Shura.
Today, she shares ‘BKLYNLDN (i_vu London Dub)’ – arriving at the final destination of Shura’s original and evoking the spirit of the past, very much at the heart and soul of the capital, in an upbeat 2-step garage take by the enigmatic remixer i_vu.
