The remarkable story of Esperanza Spalding takes yet another leap
forward with the launch of her brilliant new CD, Radio Music Society.
Complementing the chart-topping Chamber Music Society, the new project
merges r‘n’b, pop and nu-soul with her jazz roots. Featuring compelling
original songs alongside covers such as Stevie Wonder’s ‘I Can’t Help
It’, it’s confirmation of a style-spanning presence in today’s music
that is certain to make an even wider global impact for the
multi-talented vocalist/composer/bassist. A mesmerising live performer,
Esperanza played two sell-out shows at the Barbican in 2011 with the
music from Chamber Music Society following her unprecedented Grammy
Award last year. This exclusive UK concert in KOKO's intimate atmosphere
promises to be one of the must-see highlights of 2012.
"Esperanza Spalding is a marvel. Everything this leggy, Afro-haired
wunderkind does is of the highest order. The girl just can't help
sounding hip.” Evening Standard
