New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Like a breath of fresh air, Brooklyn's LadyChild, deliver an inspirational collection of moody jazz-pop and indie-rock inspired tunes today, with their debut, self-titled EP! PopDust hosted the premiere stating it's a "showcase of extraordinary indie material that mixes classical training influences with a more in-depth soul searching."
Weaving an intimately personal and sonically captivating mixture of influences and sounds, Ladychild gives notable nods to pop, soul, indie-rock and jazz influences throughout the five track release. Dynamic vocal work and soulful pop melodies, are supported with a backbone of indie rock drive and energy, for a truly one of a kind immersive experience. Genevieve Faivre, the lead singer and songwriter of LadyChild, shared, "This EP was a sonic soul search for myself. It describes my experiences over the past six years, set to the sounds that have most inspired me. Even though each song is based on very personal moments in my life, they're written in a manner in which anyone can relate to them. Instead of limiting LadyChild's sound to genre boundaries, I decided to just incorporate everything that inspired me. By taking a less restricted approach I was able to write an EP that was experimental but accessible."
Coming as the band's debut release, Ladychild provides a powerful step forward for Faivre and her bandmates, both as a group and individuals. "It's very difficult to interpret what it is you're trying to do when you're first starting off," Faivre reflected. "Everyone is on that journey to define who they are. Every journey has a beginning. This EP is LadyChild's beginning." While the group may be relatively new, their debut shows no lack of talent as they have already developed a beautiful meshing of original sounds.
Ladychild was produced by Michael Abiuso (The Venetia Fair, Kiss Kiss, The Gay Blades) at Behind the Curtains Media and recorded at Behind the Curtains Media and Mighty Toad Studio. It is available for purchase and streaming now on Spotify, iTunes, Bandcamp, and all major digital retailers today.
