That there’s not much info on a singer called INCA is probably a good thing at this point, because her debut song ‘Wake Me Up’ does much with little. The song is built from quiet keys, brooding string instruments and minimal electronics underpinning INCA’s expressive yet not full voice. It’s as if she’s whispering lines like “because I need somebody like you” in the dark as if the truth, if heard, will shatter some illusions.
The singer spends her time between England and Spain and is of Peruvian and English descent hence the name. A debut EP will be released later in the year but you can enjoy her first track now:
