One to watch: Holly Walker
The diamond-sharp vocalist best known for her work with Maribou State goes solo with a debut album of lean, melancholy funk-pop
She has played piano since childhood, put out her first EP in 2012 and – a flavour of the musical circles she moves in – was part of the underground arts collective OneTaste with the likes of Little Dragon, Portico Quartet and Jamie Woon. More than 10 years later, the Mercury-nominated Woon appeared as co-producer on Unsung, self-released by Walker last November, while maverick producer Dave Okumu was one of her session musicians. Walker’s intricate storytelling and melancholy mood is offset by the album’s lean funk-pop, while there are hints of Enya in its ethereal vocal layering.
