Bio
Whilst reflecting influences as varied as Billie Holiday, Gladys Knight, Tina Turner and Chaka Khan, Los Angeles-based Lady Blackbird (aka Marley Munroe) possesses a style and emotional intensity that is very much her own. Her debut album Black Acid Soul presents a wholly fresh take on the jazz vocal idiom from an artist blessed with a bold, unmistakeable voice.

The stage went dark, and as visibility waned, Lady Blackbird’s four-piece band began with the instrumental track “Black Acid Soul” from her debut LP of the same name. The haunting jazz piano intro, paired with deft guitar and basslines, created a surreal dreamscape at the Royal Festival Hall.
Singer Marley Munroe's rise to fame has been nothing short of astonishing in recent years. The LA songstress has long been putting the work in, but it wasn't until her hauntingly-beautiful cover of Nina Simone's "Blackbird" that the world really took notice.
