Apple

For close to a decade, B’licious has been the voice of The Heliocentrics, the London psych jazz and funk collective whose collaborators include Madlib, Mulatu Astatke, DJ Shadow, Gaslamp Killer and Lloyd Miller. She has played Glastonbury, Roskilde and Worldwide alongside artists including Marshall Allen and Bilal.

Her appearance on Strut Records’ Nuclear War, a tribute to Sun Ra also featuring Marshall Allen, Knoel Scott and Bilal, is the latest marker in a body of work shaped across some of the UK’s most respected jazz and soul stages. Following her 2022 solo EP Surrender, Apple leads her debut album, Serpent Dreams.

Apple was co-produced by Dan Smith of The Noisettes and engineered by Sie Medway-Smith, whose credits include Björk, Depeche Mode, Gang of Four and Massive Attack. On the flip, SLICKnBOBBY deliver a live reworking, drawing on work with Wally Badarou, Liam Bailey and Greentea Peng.
