With a voice like hot treacle on broken glass, whether singing of love or social change, fans consistently return to Leila Adu to be "taken away to a parallel dimension of music and thought."
Dubbed "Spooky Adu" by Steve Albini (Nirvana, Joanna Newsom, PJ Harvey) who recorded her latest solo album, Leila Adu presents her 'Dark Joan'.
Raised in New Zealand of Ghanaian descent, Adu has produced three acclaimed albums, written for and sung with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, toured extensively and had radio play in the UK, Europe, USA, Australasia, Russia and the Far East. In 2010 she was voted one of Bold As Love's "Ten Sistas Who Rocked The Decade" and Time Out "Critic's Choice" for her gig with London trio Leila Adu & The Don'ts with punk/improv legends John Edwards & Steve Noble (Neneh Cherry's Rip Rig & Panic).
With a voice like hot treacle on broken glass, whether singing of love or social change, fans consistently return to Leila Adu to be "taken away to a parallel dimension of music and thought." Since returning to Europe in 2006, Leila performed both solo with piano and with her live band at various venues, as well as recordings from The Orchestra Pit and live studio sessions and interviews on BBC World Service.
