Sweet Surrender (Vinyl LP, Clear)

"Future-soul meets the R&B nostalgia we know and love from Aaradhna on Sweet Surrender; an immersive and authentic record, with a uniquely Pacific flavour. This one's been on heavy rotate for me since it's 2024 release, and every listen uncovers newfound sonic taonga - warm vocal layers, sparkly instrumental flourishes, intentional production choices, and gorgeous lyrics that heavily resonate on femininity, love, loss, identity, people and place" - Rosetta

Eight years in the making, Aaradhna’s Sweet Surrender was released back in November and has been stuck in our heads ever since. Featuring standouts like Love 2 Love feat. Ladi6 and the sweet bounce of Mango Tree, Sweet Surrender has already seen the Te Whanganui-a-Tara based solo artist take out the Te Manu Taki Manako o te Tau / Best Soul/RnB Artist award. Aaradhna has stepped fully into her own lane, writing, producing herself to create a modern soul classic in waiting and now getting a vinyl release. - Flying Out

After an eight-year creative journey, Aaradhna is back with her most powerful and personal album to date, Sweet Surrender. In this long-awaited release, she steps fully into her artistic power, taking complete control of her music, from writing and producing every track on the album to playing many of the instruments herself. This album marks a bold new chapter for the independent artist, who is forging her own unique path and embracing her creative vision with confidence and conviction.
