Ayelle raises awareness and funds for domestic abuse survivors with new single “NBDY”

Ayelle draws on her own experiences in her approach to the societal wound that is domestic violence, also incorporating situations she has witnessed and her experiences meeting survivors as a volunteer at a London domestic abuse charity. Speaking up on this topic is more than just a self-aggrandising act of commercialised bandwagon feminism: the artist has chosen to support charities Solace Women’s Aid and RESPECT with a merchandise campaign accompanying the single release. “NBDY”-branded hoodies are available to buy from Everpress for £30, with all profits going directly to the work of the selected organisations.

Whilst the campaign and its message are – rightfully – centred in this release, it’s worth noting that “NBDY” is a devastatingly good song. Ayelle handles her subject in a manner that is measured, never heavy-handed. Delicate, reverberating guitar lines hold their own against a powerful onslaught of drums, with Ayelle’s multi-layered vocals dipping and twisting into distorted samples.
