Having toured across Europe as a backing vocalist for Ninja Tune’s Jordan Rakei, toured with Forever Amy (Amy Winehouse’s original band) as well as opening at Shepherds Bush Empire, neo-soul musician Alba Plano is set to release her much anticipated EP White Lotus this April through Sunrise Records. Alba Plano began her musical journey experimenting with jazz and contemporary classical sounds during her earlier years before dedicating her time to study jazz in her twenties.
Heavily influenced by artists like Jill Scott, Lianne La Havas and Gregory Porter; the London-based singers style has evolved into an elegant sound that highlights her incredibly dreamy vocal range and sophisticated songwriting skills. Co-produced and co-written by Karme Caruso who has previously worked with Karyn White as well as as David Shorty who has been linked to artists Retrospect for Love and Mr Jukes, White Lotus is a sensual and soulful project that combines an array of jazz elements, piano chords and catchy melodies. The EP will be enjoyed by those with a taste for fine contemporary jazz and R&B.
Collaborator and co-producer Karme adds: “This song was a bit of a musical journey, originally arranged in a few different ways. Then we opted for a raw acoustic vibe, quite different from the sound of the other tracks on the EP.”
