Tirzah’s mixtape

Verity Sharp presents an off-beat woozy mixtape from enigmatic south London vocalist Tirzah. Plus Ghanaian percussion, Irish traditional songs and Filipino gong music.

Verity Sharp shares an offbeat woozy mixtape from the enigmatic South London vocalist Tirzah. Tirzah’s sound draws in elements of off-kilter R&B, art-rock and pop, often working alongside her long-term friends and collaborators Mica Levi and Coby Sey. Her 2018 debut Devotion, mixing minimal electronics and DIY soul music, was released to critical acclaim and her new album Colourgrade is influenced by her experiences of pregnancy, birth and motherhood. Tirzah’s mixtape for Late Junction carries the same hazy and intimate feeling of her own work, with tracks from the likes of Kate Bush, Jah Shaka and Klein.

Elsewhere Verity pulls out her own selections, from the spiritual rhythms of Ghanaian master percussionist Okyerema Asante to Filipino gong music from Danongan Kalanduyan. Plus, Norwegian free jazz improvisations and a new compilation of Irish traditional songs.
