Rising indie soul artist UWADE has announced her debut album Florilegium, set for release on April 25 via Ehiose / Thirty Tigers.
Today, she's also shared lead single "Call It a Draw." The track offers a first taste of the album's expansive sound — a medley of playful folk, atmospheric production and poignant storytelling. The song began with a simple drum loop and chord progression, growing organically through improvisation. The result is a fluid, restless track that feels both spontaneous and deeply personal, capturing a sense of creative freedom with its mix of free-flowing melodies.
Known for her work on Fleet Foxes' Shore and touring with artists like Jamila Woods and Sylvan Esso, Florilegium marks UWADE's long-awaited solo debut and evolution from a sought-after collaborator to a standalone artist. The album's title means "flower-gathering" in Latin, reflecting UWADE's intention to offer her songs as "flowers of gratitude" to those who have shaped her life.
