My debut album 'Moonlit Train' out 4th June on Tru Thoughts
“Shine Bright” is the second taster of things to come from Tiawa, following on from “Life Is Not A Crime” an exclusive release on Tru Thoughts’ ‘Shapes: Sideways’ compilation, described by theartsdesk as “pure trip-hop” and with further support from underground purveyors Off Licence Magazine and BBC 6Music broadcaster Cerys Matthews.
Having made her assured debut on iconic dubwise-label Roots Garden with the reggae-riddim slant “Pain Killa” which was championed by legendary DJ David Rodigan on BBC1Xtra, Tiawa has laid the foundation for her timeless yet graceful sound, and a lyrical maturity that confutes her youth. Themes of healing are at the core of Tiawa’s creative output.
