Sanna has released a new single titled ‘My Type’ which features Anu off her upcoming Spoken Word E.P “Rumbles of an Unorthodox Mind” which is due for release later this year.

She had this to say about the song ‘We live in a consumerism society where sex sells, be it on our television/computer screens or on billboards. Women are regarded, and some treat themselves, as sex objects; a walking piece of meat simply there to satisfy a man’s sexual needs(or her own). This piece was penned with the intention of putting a message across to women, especially young girls (I have a 17 year old sister) that “Hey, you are better than to be treated as a sex object. Know your value” and to men that “Hey, I am more than just a sex object, that can’t be bought. I am more interested in what’s in your mind than what’s in pocket”.

Listen to the song below and enjoy.
