A sense of musical wisdom, innate discipline and expansive creativity pervades the street-smart electro-soul from Ellen Beth Abdi, as the renowned, prolific collaborator turned towering solo virtuoso announces her self-titled debut album with her latest single, Sad Chord. Popping with synth signatures, swelling with slow-burning background energies and flowing with delicately placed words of potent and personal meaning, Manchester’s very worst kept multi-instrumental, genre-hopping secret combines the single’s release with news that her meticulously written, 10-track collection is set for a Fri 23 May 2025 on her own Sweet Twenty-Three label. Catch her live at N&D Cafe courtesy of Piccadilly Records.
