There aren’t many artists around right now like the mighty Essex -born artist Tirzah. Her music is beautiful, with her soulful vocals wrapped around murky bedroom pop. She’s engaged yet laconic, accessible but enigmatic, hot and also chilled. These paradoxes are what make her so fascinating.
Her collaborators speak to her exquisite taste too. She’s worked with Mica Levi, Mura Massa, Kwes, Tricky and Blood Orange, among others. Rumours are that there’s a new album forthcoming this year. In the meantime, here’s some of her best work…
The low-key, lo-fi video and the slinky sleepiness is so intoxicating, as is this song. It’s not called bedroom pop for nothing…
Mica and Tirzah are just a perfect collab. The wonky invention of Micachu and the minimalist soul of Tirzah working together in symbiosis- it’s the stuff of dreams.
Slow-mo honey. The video is, as ever, gorgeous too, with some fine choreography .It’s a slow jam with heart. If this song doesn’t melt you, I don’t know what to say.
More Mica stuff, all to the good. As indie and sweet as it gets. But there’s grit in the pearl too.
More defiant here. The stripped-back production on this track really lets her voice ring out with clarity. Here’s to more music from her soon.
