Singer/rapper and producer Hawa releases the NSFW video for “Actually” shot on set with her frequent creative collaborator, Telfar. The song is taken from her debut album HADJA BANGOURA, released in November last year. The album will be released on green vinyl exclusively via Urban Outfitters on May 26, 2023. HAWA plays her debut UK show headlining London’s Corsica Studios on May 10th.

At 22, Hawa is the youngest-ever composer for the New York Philharmonic Orchestra; a teenaged rapper whose forceful, direct style earned major critical praise; as a close Telfar collaborator traveling to Italy for a fiery performance at their Pitti Uomo runway show and starring in recent campaigns. The album, named for her great-grandmother who passed away last year, forms a vessel for healing as HAWA crafts a letter to herself through which to work past her toxic relationships. Its guiding light is the palpable, fierce confidence she inhabits as she comes to terms with her past, inspired by the resilient Hadja.
