'April Showers, May Flowers'

After several years on the world’s jazz circuits, picking up 2 MOBO Awards among many other accolades on her way, YolanDa Brown is now poised to release her debut album, April Showers, May Flowers - out 13th Feb on Black Grape Records. YolanDa’s debut album will surely see her cult reputation brought to the fore.

April Showers, May Flowers is a beautifully sculpted record that touches lightly on Jazz, Soul and R&B, each track bestowed with the kind of lyrical insight - on love, on life - that suggests its author is something of a poet, too. It is an album of effortless unfurling grace and impeccable soulful poise, featuring 8 Saxophone tracks and for the first time 2 vocal tracks (Bitter Sweet and Without You) on which YolanDa showcases her beautiful voice.

YolanDa Brown will be touring the UK from Feb 14th, including two special nights at the Hammersmith Apollo where she will be performing with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.
