‘Clap Your Hands’, adopts an electronic party vibe. The track is full of positivity and focuses on the ‘light which shines within us all’ – in which we’re all beautiful people. The bumping sounds of title track, ‘Supahero’, and a fresh ‘n’ funky beat complements the message: each and every one of us is a super hero.On the hip-hop vibe with some arresting spoken word, ‘You Got’ is about seeing what you like – and getting exactly what you want! 'What Do You’ is a track which really showcases Andrea’s vocals and Daz’s tight production skills and asks the question we ask time and time again in our lives. ‘How Can I’ incorporates underground street vibes with meaningful vocals for a head-nodder with a difference!
When asked what people can expect from this album, Andrea Clarke thinks people should expect a ‘fusion of sounds: funk, soul, salsa, and broken beats.’ Daz-I-Kue explains why an album with Andrea Clarke was ALWAYS going to happen: “Andrea and I first met at West London’s top night, Rotation, back in the day. I didn’t know she was such an awesome singer but I loved her energy. When I discovered her singing abilities, I had to find a project that would suit her to the ground. It’s taken till now to sort it out an album but I got the beats done and we joined forces to get the vocals out in just a couple of magical weeks. Andrea’s a true professional and has a beautiful positive energy about her.” One thing you’ll notice about ‘Supahero’ is how perfectly the pairing of meaningful lyrics and modern, futuristic music works to create a release which showcases true vocal talent, fresh music and most definitely SOUL.
