Nadya Albertsson - Half Silk Half Blade [LP]

Berlin-based Swedish singer-songwriter Nadya Albertsson returns with her most personal work to date. Half Silk Half Blade blends diaristic storytelling with lush, layered instrumentation, the capturing a fleeting, transformative moment of queer self-discovery. A Scottish Young Jazz Musician finalist in 2018, her sound has been described as evoking Alice Coltrane, with a blend of Ella Fitzgerald, Esperanza Spalding, and Erykah Badu. Her versatile and expansive vocal range has already been showcased on Rebecca Vasmant's Blessed and Broken Biscuits and Amanda Whiting's After Dark -- projects championed by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Jamie Cullum, Jamz Supernova, BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio 1, and BBC Radio Scotland.
