Edition records Homebody [VINYL]

Following her compelling debut EP 'Mending', Frida Touray returns with 'Homebody', a work of raw emotional clarity, crafted during a time when her voice was literally fighting back. Diagnosed mid-process with a rare condition that forced her into silence and stillness, Touray chose not retreat, but rebuild. From the quiet corners of domestic life, she's shaped a collection of songs that radiate warmth, vulnerability and quiet endurance. Musically, Homebody expands on Touray's jazz-soul foundations with sparse, atmospheric production that amplifies her voice and message. There's a newfound looseness in her phrasing, a deeper sense of presence in every word she sings. You can hear the letting go, of perfection, of control, and the deepening of purpose in its place. Each track lands with unfiltered intimacy and emotional architecture, a subtle act of defiance wrapped in softness. This is music built on stillness and shaped by resilience. A reflection on self-worth, illness, femininity, community and healing. Songs that speak to the unseen parts of recovery and the small rooms we build ourselves back up in. Homebody is a record for anyone rebuilding from the inside. Available on limited edition marbled green coloured vinyl. You'd be hard pressed to find a more thoughtful and deliberative artist than Gambian-Swedish singer/songwriter, Frida Touray." - Afropean Frida Touray: vocals Ben Jones: guitar, drums Yves Fernandez: bass Jake Edwards-Wood: piano & synths Daniel See: drums Yves Fernandez: guitar Additional vocals on 'Homebody': Lianne Barnes Laura Roy Senab Adekunle Blease
