Description
DéjàVoodu is the re-release of the critically acclaimed debut album from Kirsty Almeida, produced by the legendary Youth (U2, Primal Scream, The Verve, Beth Orton, Sir Paul McCartney).
Originally issued as Pure Blue Green by Decca Records, the album includes the singles Spider, Cool Down Rewind, If You Can't Make Me Happy and Late At Night. Recorded at London's State of The Ark studio, DéjàVoodu combines wonderful songwriting with blues-folk, New Orleans soul, voodoo-tinged-pop and world music flavours, all brought to life by Youth's chart topping production.
The album features beautiful string and horn arrangements, Indian violin, Motown-esque backing vocals, santoor, harp and steel pan alongside Kirsty's inspired band, The Troubadours. A true creative, Kirsty was assistant producer and painted the artwork. Her hypnotic voice has been compared to Dusty Springfield, Portishead's Beth Gibbons and Janis Ian.
