The album features nine tracks that unmistakably echo the vocal styles of \u003cem\u003eSarah Vaughan\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eAretha Franklin\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDenver's journey began at the age of 19 when she started writing modern jazz originals with some university friends. In the summer of 2019, she released an experimental jazz-fusion EP, but since then, she has shifted direction, opting for a production and arrangement style reminiscent of the 60s. She first gained recognition as an accompanist and background singer for \u003cstrong\u003ePM Warson\u003c\/strong\u003e. She and her co-writer \u003cstrong\u003eKit Warren\u003c\/strong\u003e began writing this album in early 2022, recording it gradually over the next 18 months. They utilized several studios across London to capture the best of each element: The Cube in Stoke Newington for the drum sound, Hackney Road Studios for lead vocals, and Sam Beer's studio in Acton for Hammond, Wurlitzer, and background vocals. This album was a labor of love, involving over 12 musicians with incredible talent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by the doo-wop and Chicago soul pioneers \u003cem\u003eThe Impressions\u003c\/em\u003e, the vocal styles of \u003cem\u003eSarah Vaughan\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eAretha Franklin\u003c\/em\u003e, and the echoing, modern R\u0026amp;B sounds of \u003cem\u003eThee Sacred Souls\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Altons\u003c\/em\u003e, Denver's debut album has a clear thematic thread. It effortlessly navigates the world of 60s-style background vocals and R\u0026amp;B horn arrangements, carefully curated by Denver. With her background in jazz and her arrangement style firmly rooted in the world of soul and R\u0026amp;B, you can clearly hear her influences, supported by some of London's finest musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broken Silence Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50380155322699,"sku":"2211360","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50380155027787,"sku":"2211351","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_5ceeb69c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726209640","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/leaving-me-2","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
