Hailing originally from Burns Lake, B.C., Ndidi O cuts a rich, azure swarth as she blends blues, soul, trip-hop and more into a cohesive package on this rhythmic, hypnotic work of art, showing why she’s received multiple Juno Awards nominations and Western Canada Music Association female-vocalist-of-the-year honors.

Recorded mostly live and off the floor by producer Steve Dawson at Henhouse Studio in Nashville, Ndidi possesses a voice that possesses the rawness of Etta James and the delicate soul of Dionne Warwick. And Dawson, an award winning guitarist in his own right, backs her throughout along with a terrific rhythm section and more.

You’ll dig “Get Gone,” “Ode to Death,” “Light On,” “Don’t Come Back,” “In May,” “Change This Life,” “Too Late,” “Working Girl” and “Worth.”
