Last year, Manuka and La Favi teamed up on the collaborative release of the single '777' which marked the former's debut release on Club Romantico — run by Manchester-based producer Florentino, who also is set to feature on ‘3Eternities Beneath You’.
In an interview in 2023, Manuka told Mixmag how it felt to work with La Favi sharing: "I've been a fan of La Favi since I've had ears, so... [laughs]. No, but when it comes to underground reggaeton, it's not a huge scene internationally. Everyone has a unique way of doing what they do, and Natalia's voice has such a strong character and a power to it."
Speaking on the upcoming EP Manuka explains: "3E is a conjuring for the club and sonic ritual that revolves around yearning, sex, and moments of the infinite which occur through a suspension of time."
She continues in her announcement on Instagram to explain: "From the depths of my soul. 6 tracks, and 2 collaborations. The catharsis and vulnerability of releasing music is my favourite form of fear."
