Lady Blackbird - Live in concert, Hilversum, Netherlands.
The Vorstin Hilversum, Koninginneweg 44, Hilversum, Netherlands
Lady Blackbird returns to The Vorstin on Saturday, May 9th! After her sold-out show in March 2023, the American singer is returning to Hilversum to promote her new album, Slang Spirituals. With her powerful, soulful voice, Lady Blackbird moves effortlessly between jazz, soul, gospel, and rock. Her music sounds both grand and intimate, and her performance is always intense: a blend of raw emotion, freedom, and craftsmanship. Slang Spirituals showcases a new side of Lady Blackbird. The album is more personal and daring than her acclaimed debut, Black Acid Soul. In songs like "Let Not (Your Heart Be Troubled)" and "Reborn," she sings about self-acceptance, faith, and rediscovering her own strength. Her voice sounds simultaneously powerful and vulnerable, carried by rich arrangements steeped in soul, gospel, and psychedelic influences. The collaboration with producer Chris Seefried once again creates a compelling, layered sound that gives her remarkable voice ample space.
Lady Blackbird grew up in a religious family in New Mexico and found her freedom in music. From a backup singer, she evolved into one of the most impressive soul voices of our time, praised by media outlets like The Guardian and The Times. On stage, she exudes intensity and authenticity; her performances are both musical and emotional experiences. On May 9th, she will once again fill the main hall of De Vorstin with her irresistible blend of soul, jazz, and personal stories.
