In every Lady Blackbird song is the unmistakable sound of freedom. With a voice that embodies buffeting power, heart-rending yearning and whispered intimacy, she has fast become one of the most captivating vocalists of her generation. Since her acclaimed 2021 debut Black Acid Soul, Lady Blackbird has carved out a sound that is instantly recognisable - joyful one moment and heart-aching the next. With a sound spanning jazz, classic soul, gospel and psychedelic rock, “the Grace Jones of jazz” (The Times) commands the stage with a rare presence and emotional depth. With her latest album Slang Spirituals, Lady Blackbird stepped fully into her own light. “This is my journey of becoming,” she says, “it’s me rewriting the book to show the world who I truly am.” The record’s cinematic sweep, from the soulful fanfare of “Let Not (Your Heart Be Troubled)” to the euphoric gospel of “Like A Woman”, captures her rebirth in sound and spirit. Expect performances of raw power and vulnerability from an artist whose voice, as DownBeat put it, “tears your heart apart and puts it back together again.” Don’t miss Lady Blackbird’s headline debut at Ronnie Scott’s, performing four special shows and bringing with her the full, freewheeling force of Slang Spirituals. These are nights for those who believe in the transformative power of song and a chance to witness a singular voice at the height of its power.
