Description
Having spent the last half decade building up a name as a jazz and soul singer of rare distinction, Ada Morghe now presents her fourth album, 'Pure Good Vibes', which features the British reggae icon Maxi Priest.
A trip to Jamaica in January 2024 set 'Pure Good Vibes' in motion. Ada headed to the island after hearing that her bassist and producer Livingstone Brown, was flying there to work with Maxi Priest. It was an idea that was underlined by her desire to explore the music, culture and Jamaicanheritage that had also shaped the lives of her other band members Luke Smith (keyboard) and Josh McNasty (drums).
The resulting album is a beautiful, intimate reflection on adult themes, such as keeping the passion alive, making the most of life's sweet moments and capturing the closeness of two people in love, which is underpinned by a sound that, though not beholden to Jamaica's musical traditions, certainly shares a spirit with them. There are other influences - such as Michael Kiwanuka'ssoulful fervour, the vibrancy of '60s R&B, and a love of Sade's 'Diamond Life'.
Before stepping whole-heartedly into music, Ada Morghe was already a renowned actress and an award-winning author in her homeland ofGermany. Having written and starred in the play-turned-film 'Frau Mutter Tier' and been asked to write songs for its soundtrack, she found herself working with former Princesound engineer Hans-Martin Buff. That led her to Abbey Road studios in London, her debut album 'Pictures', and 2020's 'Box', an expression of her refusal to be tied down to any one genre or profession. From there came 2023's 'Lost', a free-flowing vocal jazz suite based on the four elements.
'Pure Good Vibes', however, pulls her toward what sounds like her most natural album yet: sophisticated jazz and soul that deals with both the romance and reality of matters of the heart.
