Concerning the Artists
Andrew Chicken has at all times had grand ambitions for what music will be, however his technique has sharpened through the years. On albums like 2012’s “Break It Your self”, which cracked the Billboard high 10, he explores themes of autonomy, and the way our selections ricochet all through our lives. “My Most interesting Work But”, from 2020, obtained a GRAMMY nomination and located Chicken referring to political themes by means of this similar lens.
Famend English supermodel Karen Elson’s blossoming music profession has seen the discharge of three full-length albums, “The Ghost Who Walks” and “Double Roses” and in spring of 2022 she launched her third album “Inexperienced” to vital acclaim which was produced by the Grammy award-winning musical duo of Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk.
You’ve heard Uwade earlier than. It’s her honeyed voice that opens Fleet Foxes’ 2020 document Shore – an expertise that’s since earned her international vital acclaim. Although her profession in music is now taking off, for Uwade, 21, singing has at all times been a type of prayer. This stems, partially, from her religious upbringing – steeped within the sounds of hymnal choral music and Nigerian Highlife on her dad’s automotive radio – and her rigorous training. To explain her voice as a divine sign you’d examine in basic texts, directly historical and altogether new.
If the very best praise to a musician is to say that his or her band transports the listener, then bandleader Vince Giordano is a journey company extraordinaire unto himself, offering a one-way ticket to an interesting time and place. His vintage-style Twenties/30s music immediately brings the viewers to a raucous, uninhibited celebration the place enjoyment reigns supreme. Solely a model would fail to stand up and dance.
