Although you can hear influences from icons such as Billie Holiday, Gladys Knight, Tina Turner, and Chaka Khan in her music, American singer Lady Blackbird's style is entirely her own. Jazz, soul, gospel, psychedelic rock, and pop: she combines it all into one rich sound. She broke through in 2021 with her debut album 'Black Acid Soul,' where her powerful, smoky voice shines like no other. The album was recorded in the famous Studio B of Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, in the same room where Prince's 'Purple Rain' was written. She did this with a fantastic live band, including former Miles Davis pianist Deron Johnson. In September, her follow-up 'Slang Spirituals' will be released, which she will showcase in our Hertog Jan Zaal!

Her latest work, "Slang Spirituals," is her most personal to date. In it, she embraces her musical freedom and tells the story of her journey to self-acceptance. In June, "Reborn," the first single from the album, was released. This song is about rebirth and liberation and reflects her own journey of self-discovery. The album contains eleven tracks ranging from soulful ballads to energetic gospel pieces, showcasing her versatility as an artist, which you can experience live soon!
