Azul Kechi – Celestial Love: Having made a big impression following radio play across BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio London, Reprezent, Radio X and Jazz FM to name just a few, South London-based British-Nigerian neo-soul singer-songwriter Azul Kechi releases the hotly anticipated debut album, ‘Celestial Love’.

Having made a big impression for her unique blend of pop, R&B, soul and jazz elements, Azul has built support across national radio and national press in the build up to Celestial Love, showcasing the authentic musicality and heartfelt songwriting which characterises the album.

With influences as varied as Amy Winehouse, Betty Davis and Lauryn Hill, Azul Kechi crafts a sound that blends raw, live instrumentation with her instantly recognisable and strikingly unique, smokey, half sung and half rapped vocal delivery. Encompassing elements of soul, pop and R&B to create rich and compelling soundscapes, across the upcoming album Azul delivers honest and personal accounts of her own life experiences.

The new single ‘Celestial Love’ offers another taste of the vibrant musicality of what can be found across the full album.

Picked up by acclaimed manager Keith Cooper during the build up to the album, (known for his work significantly contributing to the success of hip hop, drum & bass, and modern soul movements in both the UK and USA managing and discovering groundbreaking, genre-defying artists including Outlaw Posse, Stereo MC’s, PM Dawn, Jungle Brothers, Aphrodite, Finley Quaye, Jurassic 5, Ian Brown, Just Jack, Truth & Soul, Scribz Riley), Azul has gone from strength to strength, gaining acclaim across national press, radio and DSP editorial support from both Spotify and Apple Music with her previous singles.

Azul has previously garnered support from the likes of BBC Radio 6 Music, Jazz FM, BBC Radio London, Radio X, Earmilk, DMY, C-Heads, Notion, 1883 Magazine and a whole host of Spotify Editorial playlists (New Music Friday, Fresh Finds UK & IE, Chill Rnb among others), Azul Kechi was one of only a select handful of artists from around the World to be invited to perform at Musexpo, the Global Music Industry discovery forum for emerging artists, in Los Angeles.

With a vibrantly bright future, Azul Kechi has already established herself as one of the most exciting Neo-Soul artists to come out of the UK in the last year.
