New track ‘Glowing’is collaboration with Walshy Fire of Major Lazer

Singer Naomi Cowan is set to release StarGirl, her full length debut project, on June 21.

With A&R direction by Walshy Fire, one third of the popular electronic dance music trio, Major Lazer, the mixtape offers a variation of tracks that showcase Cowan’s growth as an artiste, since first releasing music in 2016.

Featuring two previously released singles, Energy, which the New York Times called an “ingenious, multi-leveled mesh of syncopations and silences” and Lucky Me featuring Runkus and The Wixard, which premiered on FADER last month, Cowan will soon release a third track titled Glowing on the same day – a track she says is the most autobiographical of the mixtape.

“Aside from the fact that the song title is Glowing– it’s not your standard ‘beauty comes from the inside’ track – it’s a statement song that might make someone upset or look at you twice for being that brazen and confident,” Cowan said.

“I wholeheartedly believe that you have to bet on yourself, and that takes an unwavering belief in who you are and what you bring to the table,” she concluded.

The three tracks, all different in musical nature, preview the versatility of this project. With production by heavy hitters like Izy Beats, The Wixard, Jamie Rodigan, Tessellated, JusBus, Natural High, Sean Alric, Dutty Rock and Circa Eleven, current fans and new listeners alike will find that the mixtape redefines the limitations of quintessential reggae music.

In 2020, Walshy Fire and Cowan had a meeting of the minds, where they agreed to release a series of music in a profound way leading to the idea of an alternate galaxy where her music would live. StarGirl begins the galactic journey with 13 sonically and lyrically innovative tracks with features from Kes, Jesse Royal, Tessellated and more.

“When we met, Naomi had great energy, a serious work ethic, was super fun to be around and had a great voice,” said Walshy. “So, I think at some point across these meetings, we just started making enough music that it was like, maybe we should put together a project.”

Born from music royalty, daughter of Gospel singer Carlene Davis and producer/songwriter Tommy Cowan, the younger Cowan has always had music running through her blood.

She will be releasing her album sometime this summer and it promises to showcase her undoubted talent.
