FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our fourth LP release...
London-born with a heritage both European and Ghanaian, LEILA ADU was brought up in New Zealand, and is now based in Rome
She has been described as 'A Nina Simone for the Noughties', and her two acclaimed albums infuse a broadly 'art-rock' approach with elements of torch song, speakeasy blues, avant garde jazz, gamelan, the post-rock textures of Slint and Tortoise, and a David Lynch style dreamlike b-movie melodrama.

Nothing ever sounds as though it could have not been sung...
