DISCLOSURE today share ‘Douha (Mali Mali)’: the latest track to be lifted from their forthcoming album ENERGY, out 28 August via Universal Music Australia. In keeping with their international collaborators, Disclosure enlisted the vocal talents of Mali’s Fatoumata Diawara for a second time (Disclosure worked with Fatoumata on their 2018, Grammy nominated single ‘Ultimatum’). On the track, she sings in celebration of her birthplace and urges all Malians to be proud of their country. The brothers first teased the track during their April Boiler Room session live from isolation and fans have been asking for it ever since. Listen HERE

A sonic exploration of impressive proportions, ‘Douha (Mali Mali)’ transports you from the now imagined dancefloor of collective memory, over continents to distant lands to languish in ecstatic escape from the very real dire straits around us.

Disclosure have long since championed the ethos of unity and the power of rallying a global community through dance music and this new album, alongside this new flagship single, strives to do just that. The breathtaking video, directed by Mahaneela, encapsulates this concept in full. Watch HERE

Of the video, Mahaneela says: “Right now, all over the world, we’re going through an incredibly strange time. I wanted to make something that was visually beautiful, but also felt symbolic of what we’re all going through. People feel more isolated than ever and I wanted to create something joyful that really shows the power music and movement has and the connectivity it brings.”

Shooting any video during a global pandemic has been a challenge to say the least but the international effort employed here has delivered amazing results. Filming Fatoumata plus a series of different dancers all moving together to the song all over the world was no mean feat. It was shot in 3 different countries using 9 different locations with 3 separate, local film crews all adhering to safety guidelines, to capture incredible rural and cityscapes from Como in Italy, Johannesburg, South Africa and New York, USA. 

Disclosure launched their third album ENERGY with the carnival-infused title track featuring Eric Thomas (HERE), followed by the aural assault of current single ‘My High feat. Aminé and slowthai’, which has enjoyed praise and support across the world from BBC Radio 1, triple j, NME and Rolling Stone, among others. The epic video has scored over a million views, view HERE.
