Have you got an album coming out soon?

Yes indeed I do, my new album ‘Treble & Reverb’ is coming out November 9th 2012

 

When Aaradhna’s harmonies spill through the speakers in her opening track, you learn that it’s not just treble and reverb that go good together. It’s her silky voice over that doo-wop style (a sound she likes to call Retro/Metro), and her newfound attitude partnered with old school soul. It’s Aaradhna and music that go good together.

As this country's most promising musical talent, Treble & Reverb serves as a reminder of the gaping hole she left when she took a break from the industry not long after releasing her sophomore album, Sweet Soul Music in 2010.

The product of this time away is a piece of work set to go down in history as one of the nations best ever releases.

Her first single ‘Wake Up’ - a plea to herself - was penned around the time she realised life was passing her by and that she was ready to get back in the game.

“At the time I was listening to Amy Winehouse,” says Aaradhna. “I used to go to her Back to Black album; I’d repeat it all day because I connected with all her music. The thing I liked about it was that she didn’t care about what other people said, and she really spoke her mind…that’s what I wanted to do, I wanted to make music that I could really say what I wanted to say.”
