New Music Releases: Kizzy Crawford, Binker Golding, Azymuth

Kizzy Crawford - Real Love

The impact of Kizzy Crawford's stylish pop infused soul music continues unabated. This prodigiously talented young artists' eclectic approach has won her fans of all ages and tastes. Her previous Freestyle Records singles have garnered support across BBC Radio 2, Jazz FM, Mi-Soul Radio, 6Music and 'BBC Introducing'. Her triumphant gigs this summer at The Cheltenham Jazz Festival 2019, and The Great Escape have showcased her formidable talent live to fantastically enthusiastic reception where ever she performs. Ahead of the release of her debut full length album 'The Way I Dream' on Friday October 25th sees Kizzy delves further into her breezy, soulful pop influences with the release of Real Love - a heartfelt story of young love gone awry. It has often been remarked upon that Kizzy has the prerequisite talent, style and credibility to follow a similar trajectory of Corrine Bailey Rae, Lianne La Havas and Laura Mvula, three strong, highly individual female artists who struck out and forged their own paths into the worlds musical consciousness, and Kizzy Crawford is without doubt cut from the same cloth


Binker Golding - Abstractions Of Reality Past And Incredible Feathers


A great solo set from tenorist Binker Golding – an artist we usually hear on the Gearbox label as part of the Binker & Moses combo, but who maybe sounds even bolder and stronger here in the lead on his own! The set's a quartet date, with a relatively straight group – but the sound is wonderful – overflowing with new ideas, and this sense of voice from the leader that gets fantastic support from Joe Armon-Jones on piano, Daniel Casimir on bass, and Sam Jones on drums! Nobody's pushing too hard, or trying any tricks – yet there's a freshness and individual spirit to the record right from the very first note – unusual rhythms from the trio, and more confidence in Golding's sound than we've ever heard before. Titles include "Skinned Alive Tasting Blood", "Fluorescent Black", "You That Place That Time", "And I Like Your Feathers", and "Exquisite She Green". ~ Dusty Groove
