Miss Kaninna returns to the core of her artistry with ‘MOB TIES’ and headlining SPLORE Festival, supporting De La Soul nationally & appearing at Sonder Festival.

Co-produced by Miss Kaninna alongside 18YOMAN and Ethan Parodi, with mixing from UNO Stereo, her signature production style shines through.

Miss Kaninna says of the track: “I wanted to show the strength of mob and solidarity between all Black people. I want Blackfullas and immigrants to feel the sense of belonging they deserve and to give a very clear message to racist white supremacist groups, you and your rhetoric are not welcome here.I’m Black on both my parents sides and growing up we made connections over the whole of the country with different mobs. I know who I am and know I come from a very proud staunch family line on both my fathers and mothers sides. My identity is not based on a trend or a “feeling”, my identity is a reflection of my strong bloodline. ‘MOB TIES’ also touches on my perspective of white supremacy in this country. Not only am I Aboriginal but I also have Mauritian, Scottish heritage on my mothers’ side and Chinese on my fathers’, which reflects the immigration of the 1800s. It’s an observation of British colonialism, claiming rights over this land when sovereignty was never ceded. If you’re not Aboriginal, Torres Strait islander or Micronesian you are an immigrant. It always was Black land and it’s always going to be Black land.”

Warning: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that the single artwork for MOB TIES contains the images of Indigenous people who have died. 

‘MOB TIES’ stands as a powerful statement of identity and resistance, reinforced by its artwork — a historic black-and-white image from the 1999 handback of Piyura Kitina, a sacred and politically significant site for the Tasmanian Aboriginal community Miss Kaninna grew up in.
