“extraordinary song” – NPR
“Aisha Badru’s vocals are slight but soulful, airy but powerful… she uses this distinctive alternative/indie sound to soul-stirring effect that is difficult to describe but impossible not to feel.” – Afropunk
“a voice that could seemingly move mountains if she whispered at them.”
“Deeply atmospheric, the lyrics are drawn from her own life, picking apart the intricate power balance in a relationship.” – Clash
Indie-folk artist Aisha Badru builds atmospheric soundscapes deeply rooted in nature, spirituality, family and homecoming. Her dynamic new The Way Back Home EP is due out December 3 via Nettwerk Records. Today, she shares new single “Rooted,” a spacious sound bath of atmospheric synths and meditative vocals which honors the spiritual transformation she had achieved. “Plant your feet upon the earth,” she sings. “Know your value, know your worth.” In adulthood, Aisha was a restless world-traveller, looking for the next place to be. These days she lives contently in her house outside of Orlando, Florida, with her partner and twin toddlers (one boy, one girl). “I never really had roots,” she explains. “We’re planting seeds and starting a garden. This is home. I’ve never felt this sense of home.”

Aisha’s humanistic confessionals have won more than 100M+ streams, a fanbase in Europe, and the praise of publications such as NPR, who celebrated her “warm and inviting” approach. Early EP tracks “Rebirth” and “The Way Back Home” earned acclaim spanning Apple Music Country, NPR Music, The Bluegrass Situation and many more. Since releasing her debut album Pendulum, Aisha relocated from Yonkers, NY to her current home outside Orlando, where she lives sustainably and practices permaculture. She is also using her platform to amplify this passion for environmentalism, teaming up with Nettwerk Records to plant trees with pre-saves of the albums & singles via a donation to the non-profit, One Tree Planted.
