Goddess, a new collaborative project curated and produced by Fay Milton of Savages, has announced the arrival of an eponymous debut album out May 30th, 2025 via Bella Union. To accompany the announcement, Goddess have shared first single “Shadows” which features vocals from Elena Tonra (Ex:Re / Daughter), alongside Hinako Omori on piano, and Ayse Hassan (Savages) on bass guitar.

Commenting on “Shadows” Fay Milton says:

What I love about this track is that it’s got this darkness and lightness at the same time. It’s got this real thunder and lightning energy. There’s a sparkly piano, very light and delicate, and then this noise bass that runs through it. Elena’s vocal is just completely exquisite, as well as her lyrics.

There are no two vocalists alike on Goddess, and this is completely by design. Listeners will notice that of the 10 featured singers, all are female/non-binary, which was a conscious decision on Fay Milton’s part. It’s “a nod to the female representation” while also “simply wanting to showcase the artists that she finds the most exciting.”

She adds:

All of the vocalists I was finding most interesting and inspiring were female and non-binary. Gender is not a topic of the Goddess album in any way, but it is a creative parameter of the project, and a very important one. The album is not about gender, but it’s working with gender as a creative tool.

The name Goddess for the project “may seem a little audacious, but it’s not about self-deification, on the contrary–it’s about celebrating the beauty and spirit alive in everyone.”
