about

All voices are unique, but some really stand apart. Whether it be the tone or a person’s phrasing and delivery, sometimes a voice catches you and gets under your skin. Miryam Solomon is one of those people.

A London-based artist, by way of Sweden and Eritrea, her work is underpinned by her love for rhythms, vocal interplay and storytelling, and has been championed by the likes of Jamie Cullum and Moses Boyd.

Romance, her debut EP for the South London label Albert’s Favourites, is at its heart a sonic exploration of storytelling, painting vivid and evocative worlds that are beautiful, playful and intriguing.

Unexpected turns and sounds, interlocking rhythms and voice, weave together a journey through different moods and colours that set the scene for stories to unfold.

There’s a magic and honesty in its simplicity, in working with the dignity of each element, as exemplified by Ben Marc’s production. Repeating rhythms and phrases take on new meaning with each listen, always guided by Solomon’s voice and its offer of intimacy and intricacy.

In her own words:

“Romance is an ode to the small things that have stayed with me.

A few years ago I was listening to a conversation about sampling, and the beauty of hearing something in a track that resonates with you. An idea that you hold with respect and wonder, yet makes you think of new possibilities.

I wanted to hold on to that feeling and piece together these seemingly modest ideas, references, dreams and stories that become portals to how I make sense of the world”.

Miryam has received regular radio play through her recent collaboration with Huw Marc Bennett on his much-loved debut album Tresilian Bay. Plays from Cerys Matthews, Tom Ravenscroft, Gilles Peterson and Stuart Maconie count amongst much international support.

With a talent for unexpected rhythms and vocal lines that demand repeated listening, her beguiling solo work is sure to win many more fans.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell

I haven't heard anything as just completely perfectly formed out of the gate--every decision the right one, what to include but more what to exclude--maybe ever. Don't know who Sault is, but they do not sound like they could be anyone who hasn't paid some dues to get this good. Or signed some Satanic contracts. 100% confidence, and it sounds 110% earned.
