ABOUT THIS ARTIST

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.

“I’ve made records before where I’m playing, recording and having total control over the entire creation but have always downplayed it. I feel now is the time to talk about it, because this is such a personal record. It’s the essence of who I am.” - Emma Jean Thackray
