Jodie Marie
Having supported Will Young on his last sold-out UK tour and releasing her debut single, On The Road which received widespread praise, Jodie Marie’s is releasing‘I Got You’ on the 27th February.
Hailing from a small town in South Wales, isolated and withdrawn from the pop charts, Jodie was raised on a diet of blues music and Bonnie Raitt.
In her own music she combines these influences with her own unique, soulful sound, evoking the work of greats such as Joni Mitchell, Tim Buckley and Carole King.
At times it seems impossible to think Jodie is a mere 20 years of age when her stunning voice can silence a crowd in seconds.
Jodie’s potential was harnessed by Transgressive Management (the team behind Johnny Flynn, Foals and The Noisettes) and she was signed to Decca to re-launch the classic Verve record label, following a strong lineage of artists - from Nina Simone and Billie Holliday to the Velvet Underground. Jodie Maire is set to transcend trends and convention with her debut album (produced by Bernard Butler and Ed Harcourt) that will be released in March 2012.
‘I Got You’ opens simply with stripped back piano, classic percussion and Jodie’s striking vocals, with which she takes you to the spell binding chorus with her voice taking second stage.
Jodie Marie's next upcoming live shows in London are:
Weds January 25th - London XOYO (Q Now: The Sessions show)
Thurs January 26th - London Barfly (The Guardian: New Band of the Day show)
Tues February 7th - London Jazz Cafe (HMV Next Big Thing Festival: Decca Records show)
