Following on from the video release of ‘Blue Fantasia’, an enthralling experimental piece earlier this year, and ‘Sideways’, a gorgeous, evocative lullaby of sorts, Edel launches her album full of sophisticated, romantic and beautifully unpredictable music.
Her songs are almost episodic in structure, meandering through vivid ensemble instrumentation, bursts of Funk, and intimate balladry, all led by her soulful – and vulnerable – voice.
Acclaimed Irish vocalist and composer, Edel Meade, celebrates the release of ‘Blue Fantasia’, her debut album with a 7-piece band, with lush vocal harmonies and intimate lyrics. Edel says, “I’ve always been drawn to artists who speak from the heart, the ones who are honest and fearless in their approach.”
“Certainly I’ve been inspired by Joni Mitchell and singers like Billie Holiday and Nina Simone who share a piece of their soul with you when they sing.”
