Singer-songwriter June Freedom brings the roots of his rich heritage to the fore on Anchor Baby. Fusing alt-pop, worldbeat, zouk, kizomba, hip-hop and Afrosoul elements, he expresses his Cape Verdean American heritage through English, Portuguese, Spanish and Kriolu lyrics. Genre-bending rhythms highlight his cultural diversity alongside Moroccan newcomer Rhita Nattah, Stacy Barthe, Nelson Freitas and French Cape Verdean rapper Elji Beatzkilla. Released in 2022, the deluxe edition adds 11 more tracks, including collaborations with Djodje (“Si Ki Min Krè”), Krisirie (“Electric Slide”) and Spotless (“Simmer Down”).
