GEN F alum Lafawndah has signed to U.K. label Warp Records, who will release her new EP, titled Tan, on February 5 2016. It follows from last year's dance-y, joyful debut EP Chili, which was recorded on the French-Caribbean island of Guadeloupe.

For her new EP Tan, the Parisian artist returned to an island environment—it obviously works—to record Tan, this time a little closer to her adopted home of N.Y.C: Fire Island, off the shore of Long Island. Today we're premiering a glowingly seductive new video for the title track, which Lafawndah self-directed. "'Tan' is the first song I wrote for the EP on Fire Island, with collaborators Nick Weiss and Tamer Fahri," she told The FADER. "The title is a nod to Duke Ellington dedicating his musical Jump of Joy 'to the Suntanned Tenth of the Nation.'" Watch it above, and spot Lafawndah's cameo.
