Sió and Tesfa Williams (formerly T. Williams) trace a journey from pain to power on new album 'SIGMA', issued on STY TRU BTS, the sister label to legendary South African imprint, Stray True Sounds.
Following her 2022 debut LP, 'Torn Tapestries', South African singer-songwriter Sió returns with SIGMA, a new album releasing 27th June. Created in collaboration with London-based producer Tesfa Williams (formerly T. Williams), the project offers a clear exploration of personal growth, emotional resilience, and self-determination.
Written and recorded over four days at Strong Room Studios in Shoreditch, London, SIGMA presents a focused and intentional work. Williams' production balances engaged beats with flowing restraint, supporting Sió's direct and reflective lyricism. The album contains eleven tracks centred on independence, boundary-setting, and healing themes. Singles "Fortnite," "Continents," and "Outside" preview the emotional range of the project, addressing autonomy, confrontation, and renewal. Together, Sió and Williams have crafted a grounded and emotionally deep record.
Sió puts it like this: "Tesfa's beats spoke to every feeling I needed to get out. His quick mind and open heart gave me the space to write something that healed me. I'm done asking for permission. I refuse to settle or compromise. I own my flaws and victories - that's the real rebellion; self-love.” SIGMA is a clear statement of intent from an artist evolving with purpose and marks the next step in Sió's collaboration with STY TRU BTS.
