The three-track EP is due on KNTXT in November, with NAVA featured throughout.
Charlotte de Witte will release a three-track EP, ‘Azadi’, in November on her KNTXT label, with the AI-generated vocalist NAVA featured throughout. She previewed it with a snippet of ‘Tales Of The Desert’ and an AI-generated video that places her and NAVA against expansive salt flats. We Rave You reported the preview.
NAVA was created in 2025 and draws on imagery from Iranian art and history. The EP’s title translates to “freedom” in Persian. Mehr, who has described NAVA as more than a technological experiment, told The Guardian the character represents Iranian women who are barred from singing in public.
The Association for Electronic Music has called for consent, credit and compensation for creators whose work is used to train AI systems.
