Growing up in South-East London in a musical family, this British singer, songwriter and pianist was surrounded by classic Motown soul. Although having trained as a classical singer, she’s captivated by the intrinsic expression and emotiveness of jazz and soul. Touched by the music of Roy Ayers, Nina Simone and Amy Winehouse, she has conceived a sound rich with poetic lyricism and emotional melodies.
Finding the perfect balance between lush jazz and steamy soul, her debut single is a honey-sweet sliver of sonic heaven. The smooth keys, soft percussion and succulent sax solo are mere ingredients in her love potion, but it’s her enchanting, velveteen vocals that make this aural elixir irresistible. Lyrically exploring the renewing power of love, you want to keep this silken ballad close to you.

From her upcoming debut album “The New Old Me”, to be released in April 2020:
This quintet from Minneapolis was founded in 2016 on a college campus. Consisting of Jake Berglove, Joe Villano, John O’Brien, Des Lawrence and Wyatt Fuller, they first started making music together as a hobby, but took their infectious soul-pop sound across the city, leading to local venue 
Starting smooth and easygoing with an acoustic piano and Jake’s crisp voice, their new single soon develops into an infectious, upbeat groove. Blending a vintage vibe with a touch of jazz makes the bouncy beat, plucky bass and sunshiny keys paint a delightful, aural Summers day, while the soulful vocals sound silky and refreshing. And with sleek horns, this is a sanguine spark in an uncertain world.
