Her album 'Hypersensitive', rated four stars by “Kulturtipp”, released in March 2022, translated into a tour in several countries around the world, such as China, Bolivia, Peru, Spain, the UK, Germany, and the United States. Her singles "Building" and “Start Again”(2021) were very well received by radios in Switzerland and across Europe on BBC Introducing and Jazz Fm. Moreover her single “Mouth Shut”, was selected as BBC introducing record of the week. Afra Kane was invited to play as a guest artist at Jack Savoretti’s Italian tour, contacted by the singer himself on Instagram.
