This is SUCH an exciting moment for me. After being a fan of London-girl Tawiah since watching her support Estelle at 2008’s iTunes Festival, I’m sure you can agree that a new album is long-time-coming.

Her debut EP is, to this day, one of my favourites…. 2008’s ‘In Jodi’s Bedroom’ built on Tawiah’s base of combining raw funk with soulful RnB, and her live performances are just too brilliant for words.

Roll on to 2013 and Tawiah has just dropped new single ‘TEARdrop’ off her forthcoming album. It’s fantastic and a strong return to form.

If you ever get the chance to see her live, I can’t stress enough how much you should go. The singer is synonymous with amazing 10-minute renditions of stand-out track ‘Every Step; likewise with Jodi Milliner on bass (and production) and the powerhouses of LaSharVu on BVs, she really is a force to be reckoned with.
