285 Days Retold

The most important thing when I’m creating and performing is connection,” says the musician Mara Simpson. In her new EP, 285 Days Retold, Simpson takes this concept to new heights by inviting four friends and fellow musicians to work with her in reinterpreting songs from her recently released album, 285 Days. The resulting 5 tracks encapsulate the true spirit of collaboration, and mark a new direction for the British singer, “It’s a shift for me as a solo singer-songwriter. I’m now opening up what I do by exploring different collaborations, and using the stories behind the songs to connect with people.” It features Ellie Mason (Wovoka Gentle), Poppy Ackroyd, AVA and ALexandra Hamilton -Ayres.
