Keeley Forsyth鈥檚 mixtape

Verity Sharp shares a mixtape from composer, singer and actor Keeley Forsyth which celebrates female vocalists. Plus new releases from Congolese electronics to Swedish jazz.

Verity Sharp shares a mixtape from composer, singer and actor Keeley Forsyth. Born in Oldham and now based in Harrogate, Forsyth released her debut album Debris in 2020 to great acclaim, after more than 20 years as a successful actor starring in the likes of Happy Valley and Waterloo Road. Her music is sparse, intimate and centred around her voice, often haunting and emotionally raw. Her second album Limbs is out this month, and explores themes including a fear of death, cruelty, love and tenderness.

Forsyth says that when she sings she connects to a female energy, almost separate from herself. Her mixtape for Late Junction celebrates women vocalists and musicians that inspire and move her, from French icon 脡dith Piaf and Colombian electronic artist Lucrecia Dalt to folk music from Palestine and the pedal steel guitar playing of Susan Alcorn.

Elsewhere in the show there鈥檚 new releases including psychedelic electronics from the Democratic Republic of Congo and producer La Roche, jazz inspired by the west coast of Sweden from the ensemble Koma Saxo and a new compilation celebrating the works of Dutch synth designer Rob Hordijk.
