She has returned to work with friends including Jon Hopkins, Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip, singer Obi Franky, rapper KAM-BU, artist Kaiden Ford, and poet James Massiah, as well as two choirs: Trans Voices with choir leader ILĀ and a gospel choir led by Wendi Rose. Having spent years behind the decks, HAAi also brings her own voice to the forefront in a powerful shift toward vulnerability and self-expression. Her vocals, stunningly delicate, give a newfound dimension to her kinetic productions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album’s concept became clear while HAAi was in the studio with Hopkins.

For HAAi, a light went off: “The idea of something completely synthetic trying to make an actual person sound more human is crazy,” she says. HAAi blurs these extremes throughout the album: digitising voices, layering them to hazy effect, and even using an AI text-to-speech to generate her voice. But, ultimately, she concludes that experience and memory – what makes us truly human – cannot be replaced. From the euphoric opener ‘Satellite’, to BBC Radio 6 Music A-listed track ‘Can’t Stand To Lose’, and genre-smashing cuts like ‘Shapeshift’, the album is filled with exhilarating sonic twists and deeply personal lyrics.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eHUMANiSE\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a powerful, emotionally charged leap forward: a celebration of community, self-expression and humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DeliveryAndReturns_reasons-to-buy-wrapper__bhUTJ\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Header_header-wrapper__pnVhR\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56668636610935,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/7765\/8998\/files\/Haai_R6921-6284.webp?v=1770296173","url":"https:\/\/vinylwhistle.co.uk\/products\/haai-humanise","provider":"The Vinyl Whistle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
