Sudan Archives Shares ‘OMG BRITT’ Single, Announces KOKO Show
SUDAN ARCHIVES
Releases ‘OMG BRITT’ Single & Video
Announces Headline London Show at KOKO
Natural Brown Prom Queen
Released This Friday 9 September on Stones Throw
Sudan Archives has shared a video for her new single ‘OMG BRITT’, the fourth and final advance taste of her highly anticipated second album Natural Brown Prom Queen, out this Friday on Stones Throw.
On ‘OMG BRITT’, Sudan effortlessly flows over a trap-indebted production that grows increasingly complex as the song progresses, an effect emphasized by the futuristic and claustrophobic video by Zach Sulak.
Fresh off a sweaty run of UK festival appearances at All Points East, FORWARDS, End of the Road and more, she’s announced her largest headline show to date – in London’s KOKO on 23 November – as part of her Homecoming Tour. Tickets for the Homecoming Tour are on sale now – full dates below.

The lead-up to Natural Brown Prom Queen has made for a monumental summer for Sudan, including being named as a member of YouTube Music’s Foundry Class of 2022 (alongside the likes of Babytron, Obongjayar, and Genesis Owusu), guesting on Hrishikesh Hirway’s Song Exploder podcast for a deep dive into the writing and recording of ‘Selfish Soul’, and receiving glowing write-ups from The Observer, Pitchfork, SPIN, Uncut, DJ, Hypebeast, and many more.
‘OMG BRITT’ was produced by Sudan Archives, JD Reid (slowthai, Mabel, Ghetts), Ben Dickey, and Simon on the Moon.

“One of those records that invites you to get comfortable in its dizzying headspace.”
The Observer ****
“The joy of Natural Brown Prom Queen is in the openness she grants to her listeners: a rare glimmer of an artist who is radically vulnerable, in all her glory.”
DJ Mag
“Natural Brown Prom Queen revels in ear-catching beats and hooks while still maintaining Parks’ mile-a-minute rate of musical ideas… ‘Am I good enough?’ she wonders momentarily on ‘Selfish Soul’. More than: we scarcely deserve this.”
