SheBeKeke likes to turn her poems into songs. Her latest release, Ephemera is an attempt to capture those fleeting moments that float away then form the female experience. Inspired by a collection of her poems, SheBeKeke has collaborated with producer, Tom Leah and riveting cellist and vocalist, Abel Selaocoe, to explore her shifting femininity. I Am Phem.

Previous works, Moonwhile and Abecedarian, showcase a mixture poetry and sound. Not all words can live on the page. Someone called her sound “gospel folk” once but she isn’t too sure if she agrees.

Mr Scruff said this about Ephemera; ‘Been listening to this non-stop. I was blown away by Keisha's recent 'Lunar' performance & book, and it is great to hear some recorded work springing from Manchester's long established and internationally respected spoken word scene. Keisha & Werkha work really well together, and I love the intimacy and subtle wordplay on these tracks. Top choices for me are 'Count' & 'Curse of I' (check the video for that one too), but you really need to dive into the whole thing. Favourite track: Count.’
