Kirsty Almeida is without doubt one of the most exciting and unique new singer-songwriters to emerge in recent times. Musical dresses, circular doors, chirping toy birds, sonic hallucinations: in Kirsty Almeida we've the return, at last, of the enigmatic true eccentric. Her music (like her life) is magical, the kind of radiant soul-revue sophistication that's been gone so long it suddenly feels brand new; crystalline vocals untouched by meddling sheen, live instrumentation tinkling across your synapses, the glowing warmth of classic song-writing pulsing like amber jewels. Her debut album, 'Pure Blue Green' is a timeless spectrum of soul, folk, blues and sumptuously intricate voodoo pop beamed through the prism of her gifted seven-piece band.
