Ronika – Only Only / In The City

Ronika will release her brand new EP – ‘Only Only / In The City’ – on September 26: the follow-up to the acclaimed summer release, ‘Forget Yourself / Wiyoo’. Having headlined a hometown show at Nottingham’s Stealth in July, further live dates will be announced shortly.

Ronika has won significant praise for her homespun mix of classic dance and crisp, modern pop. The funk-led disco escapism of her last EP drew heavyweight comparisons with the likes of Gwen Stefani, Prince and Tom Tom Club. This new release broadens out her sound once more, whilst exhibiting that same nerdy twist on her influences. ‘In The City’ is a floor-filling and euphoric update on the urban hedonism of Inner City or Black Box: it also boasts production from the anonymous Citizen (who has remixed Azari & III and Adele). Equally strong is the shimmering ‘Only Only’: driven by handclaps, Italo synths and Ronika’s soulful vocals, it’s another effortless turn from “the Madonna of the Midlands” (Electronic Rumors).
