Ariádne, the UK-based singer-songwriter and frontwoman of the nu-soul band Mamilah, takes a bold step into her solo career with “Traces,” the title track from her upcoming EP. This emotive single is all about the marks we leave on each other’s lives—whether through family, friends, or even brief encounters. Ariádne’s soulful vocals and heartfelt lyrics are a beautiful tribute to the people who shape our stories, especially her grandparents, whose love and wisdom have deeply influenced her.

Musically, “Traces” mixes Greek Rebetiko, Soul, R&B, Dub, and Dance, creating a genre-bending, experimental sound that feels both fresh and familiar. Produced by Ed Allen, the track perfectly blends soulful vibes with a touch of adventure. Ariádne’s work with Mamilah already made waves in the Leeds underground jazz scene, and “Traces” proves her solo journey is just as exciting. A stunning debut that’ll stay with you.
