The video—and her wider body of work—often begins with her hand-painted representation of Isis , the Egyptian goddess.

A painter and sculptor, Alewya includes her own visual art in the video, appearing on screen spraying a large canvas.

Alewya’s "Sweating" is more than a debut single; it is a sensory manifesto that fuses her Ethiopian and Egyptian heritage with the gritty, rhythmic pulse of West London club culture. Released in mid-2020, the track and its accompanying video serve as an exploration of sensual power, feminine prowess, and transcendence through movement.

Alewya (pronounced ah-leh-wee-yah ) identifies primarily as a painter who makes music.
