Lady Blackbird today shares her brand new single ‘It’s Not That Easy’ lifted from her highly-anticipated and debut album Black Acid Soul, due for its long awaited release on September 3rd via Foundation Music/BMG. An achingly beautiful interpretation of the deep, southern soul obscurity by Reuben Bell & The Casanovas, the track is another showcase of Blackbird’s remarkable brilliance.
With a voice that has stopped critics in their tracks, Lady Blackbird is a revelatory new talent with music that transcends the jazz scene through which the LA-based artist is rooted. Reflecting influences as varied as Billie Holiday, Gladys Knight, Tina Turner and Chaka Khan, with critics drawing comparisons to Adele, Amy and Celeste, Lady Blackbird’s distinct and beguiling talent is not one to be missed.
Mesmerising musicians and tastemakers alike, Marley was invited to perform a stunning rendition of ‘Angel Dream’ at the late Tom Petty’s 70th birthday tribute. Honouring the great’s has come as a musical process to Marley, having recorded her highly anticipated debut album Black Acid Soul in legendary Studio B (Prince’s room) in Sunset Sound, produced by Grammy-nominated Chris Seefried.
