Mercury Prize-winning British rapper Speech Debelle returns with a new album. ‘Sunday Dinner On A Monday’ is an examination of family, friends, lineage, and ancestral DNA, through the lens of afro-futurism.
“It’s about how we imagine and then create our own futures”, says Speech. “The album is about our journey through life, as we learn from experiences that expand our senses. We learn internal management and get closer to ease. Some of us even become nourished, like a good meal. This is THAT album.” Corynne Elliot
(born 17 March 1983 in London, England), better known as Speech Debelle, is a British rapper signed to the Big Dada record label.
She was the winner of the 2009 Mercury Prize for her debut album Speech Therapy.
She released her second album, Freedom of Speech in 2012 and her third album, tantil before i breathe in 2017. Debelle's single from Speech Therapy, "Spinnin" has been re-worked by Tinchy Stryder and Dionne Bromfield and was used as one of the official anthems of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
She has also been politically and socially active with a number of charities and movements, and hosted the BBC documentary Hidden Homeless in 2012. In March 2010 Speech Debelle teamed up with Bonobo to co-write and sing on the song "Sun Will Rise", taken from Ninja Tune's 'XX' Boxset.
