YolanDa has just created an entirely new musical genre all of her own in readiness for her second album, Love Politics War, due for release on Black Grape Records come June 16 2017. She’s christened it, with characteristic humour, ‘Posh Reggae’. “This album is a mix of reggae, jazz and soul,” she explains. “We have jazz chops and chords, and the soul element is always there - it gives me a softer side – but, as we found from the tours on the first album, the biggest element that got people up and dancing was the reggae rhythms. Combining the three together for me feels like the right place to sit: it’s my home. The first album was a bit broader because it had classical and swing in there too and that made it a bit wild to box it up neatly. Now this is my sound. ‘Posh Reggae’ is all me… naturally.” Understand, Love Politics War is not just a soul track followed by a jazz track, followed by a reggae tune. Nearly always it’s about combining the three styles into one sumptuous whole, reflecting YolanDa’s take on music. Presenting “Million Billion Love“, the first single from my New Album “Love Politics War“. “Love Politics War“ available now on Double Vinyl, CD and Digital. iTunes: and Amazon: #LovePoliticsWar #PoshReggae
