Lady Blackbird

3867 fans

Listen to my debut album Black Acid Soul, now live on Deezer!

Lady Blackbird was raised in a religious Christian household and began singing as soon as she could walk. “Once I entered my teenage years, I started to realise that religion was something that was put on me and it never felt right,” she says. “As I also began to develop my own identity as a queer woman, I felt judged as an outcast and labelled as a sinner. It was burying who I really was and I needed to find a way out.”

In taking charge of her own life and her own sound, Lady Blackbird walks a new path, making each note on her latest album Slang Spirituals a step in a radically different direction. Across 11 tracks Lady Blackbird puts her sweeping, cinematic vocal power to use on everything from the soulful orchestral fanfares of ‘Let Not (Your Heart Be Troubled)’ to the finger-picking folk storytelling of ‘Man On A Boat’, euphoric gospel empowerment of ‘Like A Woman’ and the seven-minute psychedelic soul instrumentation of ‘When The Game Is Played On You’.

After recently making her welcomed return, which included a thrilling performance as part of Chaka Khan’s Meltdown Festival at London’s Southbank Centre in June 2024, as well as a sold out residency at Los Angeles’ Sun Rose on Sunset Strip and a European support slot with Moby, Lady Blackbird makes her extremely welcome return with her brand new studio album Slang Spirituals, out now on BMG.

“This is my journey of becoming,” she concludes. “It’s me rewriting the book to show the world who I truly am. From being labelled a sinner to finding my freedom.”
