Emma-Jean Thackray presents WEIRDO

Multi-dimensional multi-instrumentalist and producer Emma-Jean Thackray releases her

extraordinary second album on Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood label. Musically and

creatively, Weirdo bridges grunge, pop, soul and jazz, channelling George Clinton and Kurt

Cobain in the award-winning artist’s powerfully idiosyncratic style. Virtuosic musicality and

self-expression is combined with humour in this triumphant exploration of loss, recovery and

gratitude.

 

Playing and recording every instrument, writing, singing, and arranging all of the songs, and

producing, recording, and mixing the whole album, alone in her south London flat, Weirdo is

a truly remarkable achievement on every level: compositionally, lyrically and personally.
