Info for Prelude (Live at Abbey Road Studios)

Reflective and emotive, honest and raw, Naomi Kimpenu’s debut EP ‘Prelude’ dwells in intimate depths while showcasing the London artist’s stunning talents and striking vision.

“The making of this EP was such a transformative experience. Writing, producing and recording the project really showed me what I’m capable of. It has been such a tremendous year for me as an artist. It’s been filled with so many iconic moments. From winning the Ivor Novello Rising Star Award to recording my EP Live at Abbey Road Studios. It feels like the beginning of my legacy. It’s such an exciting time in my life. I’m signing my first ever publishing deal with Sony Music and it is such an incredible and surreal feeling having one of my lifelong dreams come true.” (Naomi)

Sweetly soft, stirring, and utterly engulfing, Naomi Kimpenu’s debut EP is a truly stunning introduction: A beautifully moving four-track record that captures the budding seeds of a promising new artistry. Reflective and emotive, honest and raw, Prelude dwells in intimate depths while showcasing the London artist’s talents and vision.

Prelude is all Naomi Kimpenu: Written, performed, produced, and mixed by the 22-year-old East London-based newcomer, it’s a unique spark of multifaceted artistry and creative ownership that we don’t see too often (especially with initial offerings), despite the access and possibilities currently afforded to independent artists. Consisting of four emotionally potent piano ballads (with some subtle string accompaniments where appropriate), Prelude puts Kimpenu’s cinematic powerhouse vocals front and center. The artist’s up-close-and-personal style invites listeners into a world of longing and unrest, connection and disconnect as we hang onto her every word, hearing stories of heartache and passion’s pain play out in real time. While she cites inspirations from the likes of Alicia Keys and James Blake, Lana Del Rey and Sade, Kimpenu is perhaps best appreciated, on this debut at least, as channeling the spirit and potential of a young Adele.
