INFO


It is no longer a secret that Lady Linn has a very rich and unique voice with a versatility that is seco nd to none, ensuring that she is right at home in a myriad of styles.

She proved exactly that in her new 'trilogy', a series of three E.P.'s - 'I'm F ine', 'Sea of Trees' & 'Nocturne'- each one telling its own unique story, and no w bundled on the album 'Trilogy'.

The common thread throughout the al bum is her affinity with jazz, soul and dance, but also lyrically, various theme s return: the tenderness within family life, melancholy, nature, and the magic o f the dance floor.

There is also a clear evolution with the arrangeme nts going from a sober, stripped-down quasi-electronic sound of the JX-03 on 'I' m fine' (with contributions from Gustaph, Gregory Frateur and producer Frederik Segers) to dreamy and warm analog synths by producer Joris Caluwaerts on 'Sea of Trees', to an organic, energetic sixties sound on 'Nocturne' with starring role for her partner and bass player Filip Vandebril and partners in crime: The Magn ificent Seven, arranger Frederik Heirman and producer Jan Chantrain.

In addition to a selection of the three EPs, 'Trilogy' also includes the extra s ong 'Hurricane', one of Linn's personal favorites, recorded at Daft Studios with The Magnificent Seven:

'I had just watched a documentary on Laurel C anyon (on the topic of Los Angeles - the epicentre of the 'counter culture' or b etter 'hippie culture' - in the late 60's and early 70's and the habitat of The Mamas and the Papas, Frank Zappa, Jim Morrison, etc.) which fed my fascination f or the 60's that I already had thanks to my parents. The way in which music was created and recorded in that era is a dream for every musician, me included. Wit h the surplus in time due to the lack of gigs during the pandemic the time was r ight to follow my dream and record in the Daft Studios with my own band. I felt a bit like Carol King behind my piano, but I was also inspired by Joni Mitchell. '

A quote from the lyrics of 'Hurricane': 'I wanna feel the wind like the birds outside/Dive like a seagull, enter the water from flight/Into the dee p I slide'.

'A very personal song about losing yourself and the longi ng for freedom. I composed this one specifically with 60's songs in mind, with l oads of modulations and pretty complex chords.'

Lady Linn wrote a ve rsatile trilogy, inspired by a diverse set of influences that had her digging in music history in a very original and contemporary way. She also made her mark o n the sound of the productions. On both 'I'm Fine' and 'Nocturne' she was co-pro ducer.
