Excerpts from .PDF presspack:
‘Lady Nade’s voice has a powerful authority that belies her young age, a voice that speaks of lost cellars and smoky jazz. But her music is carefully composed and contemporary… bluesy, with more than a touch of soul. It all adds up to a remarkably individual artist with even greater things ahead of her’ - Tony Benjamin (Venue Magazine)
‘Lady Nade & The Silhouettes hold an impeccable live reputation on the Bristol scene. 2011 began with the release of their debut EP which together with a busy schedule of hotly-tipped shows and residencies elevated the band’s status to one of the South West’s most promising new acts. A series of spectacular festival performances at Glastonbury, The Secret Garden and BBC Radio 4′s More Than Words Festival have continued to spark further interest. The March 2012 release of follow-up EP ‘All I Am’ has been acclaimed by local press and radio alike, so far gaining airplay on BBC Bristol’s Introducing show and Jack FM amongst others. Venue magazine awarded the EP 4/5 stars and described it as ‘Another promising milestone in the development of a considerable talent.’
‘The sound of Lady Nade & The Silhouettes suggests a blend of vintage soul, funk, R&B and folk yet remains refreshingly unique. Lady Nade’s influences as a songwriter include Nina Simone, Lauryn Hill, Antony And The Johnsons, Amy Winehouse, and many others. She is also known as a sought after session singer and award winning songwriter and has collaborated with top level artists including Massive Attack’
