Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded entirely on a mobile phone across various locations including London, Cape Town, and Chicago, this incredible debut was entirely performed, overdubbed, and mixed by the artist herself. The fiercely independent release channels the ancestral power of spiritual jazz and avant-garde exploration, capturing a raw, deeply soulful energy uninhibited by professional studio constraints.
