A sense of musical wisdom, innate discipline and expansive creativity pervades the street-smart electro-soul from Ellen Beth Abdi, as the renowned, prolific collaborator turned towering solo virtuoso announces her self-titled debut album with her latest single, Sad Chord. Popping with synth signatures, swelling with slow-burning background energies and flowing with delicately placed words of potent and personal meaning, Manchester’s very worst kept multi-instrumental, genre-hopping secret combines the single’s release with news that her meticulously written, 10-track collection is set for a Fri 23 May 2025 on her own Sweet Twenty-Three label. 

Counting back almost a decade since her prodigious talents were first discovered and her solo touring and numerous support slots kick-started a journey around national and international venues, all of Abdi’s live experience, including sharing stages with Lady Blackbird, Courtney Pine and Angelique Kidjo, will be poured into dates arranged in celebration of the long- anticipated release of Ellen Beth Abdi.
