SEEDLINGS ALL

Description

In 2016, Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker released *Overnight*, a sublime debut album whose songs, imbued with nostalgia, seemed to come from another era thanks to Josienne's angelic voice and Ben's delicate compositions. *Seedlings All*, their follow-up, is Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker's first album composed entirely of original songs and this time explores musical territories with more jazz influences. Josienne Clarke describes it as her most autobiographical songwriting work to date: more vulnerable than ever, she sings about doubt, years of failure, excess, and a lack of self-confidence, the difficulties of her life as a musician searching for balance in an industry that doesn't provide it. On her remarkably sincere lyrics, her unique warm voice is enhanced by Ben Walker's brilliant arrangements to touch the heart. Nominated multiple times at the BBC Folk Awards and personally invited to open for Richard Thompson on his UK tour in the autumn, the duo will charm you with their delicious folk music and their nostalgic tunes tinged with jazz and silky string layers.
