After a great run of Hyde Park Book Club shows for the first half of 2024 from Leeds jazz/soul/global beats promoter/legend DJ Lubi hosts his final gig of the summer at the venue on Sunday 21st July. It's a proper banging summer contemporary soul party, London meets Leeds.

 

Headliner Millie Mountain is the 24 year old London vocal alt-soul sensation blowing up right now. She's dropping a much anticipated debut album "Fugitive Of The Mind" on July 5th.The Brit School alumni has already impressed the music industry with her debut EP "Blurred Out Faces" and her collaboration with Manchester's hip-hop/funk kings The Mouse Outfit. Previous release support and upfront listens of her debut album by veteran Jazz FM DJs like Tony Minvielle and Robbie Vincent has got them in a fizz and excited for this artist. Also strong support from BBC Introducing London's Jess Izzat, BBC Radio Manchester's Karen Gabay and London's premier contemporary soul promotions team Global Soul.

 

Touring with The Mouse Outfit last summer, she performed sold-out shows in popular venues UK wide as well as big stages at festivals such as Boomtown, The Homecoming in Birmingham, Sundaes In The City in Bristol, Love Summer Festival in Plymouth.

 

‘Feel’, Millie Mountain’s collaboration track with The Mouse Outfit and Gemini Candid, is approaching 284K streams on Spotify alone. 'Running', the first single taken from the forthcoming debut album, was featured on New Music Friday and Orbit Spotify Playlists with combined likes of 921K, and it was added to Fresh Finds and Chilled Ministry of Sound playlists. The reaction to Millie’s latest single ‘Shades’ has received a similar reaction being featured as Single of the Week on Tony Minvielle’s Jazz FM show.
 

Now it's time to step out into the spotlight as a solo artist with a UK tour in July to promote the album. She drops into Hyde Park Book Club on Sunday 21st July with a great band including bass player Stuart Whitehead (founder member of Brownswood Recordings' nusoul stars Secret Night Gang), saxophonist Helena Summerfield (Jazz Camp For Girls founder), drummer Tomos Williams, keyboards/synth player Ben Pickering and multi-instrumentalist Bella Band.

 

The album will be bringing together a rich and diverse range of styles that she's made her own, a combination of warm neo-soul vibes mixed with jazz, hip-hop and RnB. All wrapped up with that post-punk energy and vibe that emanates from Millie Mountain's character and onstage presence. Come and check out what the fuss is all about, and for a little preview, check her music via her social media and streaming accounts here :
 


 

"I’m sitting in my garden planting roses and I think I’ve found my album of the year - absolutely stunning".
Tony Minvielle, Jazz FM

 

"Comparable to Greentea Peng, Amy Winehouse, Cleo Sol and Ceeopatra. Her delicious vibrato makes every note feel like honey. Warm and inviting with a huge splash of sensuality. Harnessing her skills in spoken word, ‘Like Water’ shows Millie not only effortlessly demonstrating her vocal range, but her talents in rap, too. Fans of Little Simz will no doubt be won over by her unmistakable South London dialect. Millie proves yet again that she is talented in what she does. Her music is authentic, laid back and cool without even having to try". 
Wordplay Magazine
 

"I really just love the whole energy around that. The swag that Millie Mountain has, and also really flexing that vocal. The tune is ‘How We Like’ on BBC Introducing in London and I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did".
Jezz Iszatt, BBC Introducing London

 


Leeds rising stars of neo-soul/hip-hop jazz Blodeuynn, featuring the incredible beats and grooves of multi-instrumentalist whizzkid producer Alex Williams and the sweet and soulful voice of lead singer Alys Watson, have rocked a couple of killer DJ Lubi Brudenell support slots this year already (Heritage and TC & The Groove Family shows). They make insanely good original soul music with great beats and jazz overtones that show influences such as Erykah, Dilla, Anderson .Paak, D'Angelo and Robert Glasper. Still students at Leeds Conservatoire, they've gigged around the city a fair deal now but they're always great live so come down early to catch some future stars of UK soul.
