Sounds Like
Erykah Badu, Billie Holiday, Sia, Lou Rhodes, Martina Topley Bird but mostly Reeta Loi!
Rooted in jazz, blues, soul, Indian classical, pop, indie and trip-hop influences, Reeta Loi proves to be a diverse and multi-faceted singer and songwriter. Following an international release on BBE's 'Exit Music: Songs for Radioheads' in 2006 with Mark Ronson, Matthew Herbert and Cinematic Orchestra, a release in 2007 alongside Lou Rhodes and Ed Harcourt plus a 7'' release with Converse Music and a European tour as the frontwoman and driving force of L.O. Freq, the much anticipated solo album is in production for release in 2008.
Fresh UK dates with her band are to be announced for 2008 along with some new recording projects and exciting collaborations.
