An intense ride follows. Besides performing with Finn Silver, Fridolijn gets involved in Singer/Songwriter supergroup Ladies of the Lowlands, she tours internationally with British jazzband Kairos 4tet and becomes the host of the monthly vocal session at Amsterdam’s North Sea Jazzclub.In 2013 she decides to take a step back from the ratrace and starts writing music again. Intuitively, sincere and unhindered by bandsound or -formation. Drummer Richard Spaven, with whom she collaborated within Finn Silver, introduces her to Danny Fisher and David Austin. Two songwriters with whom she ends up writing the majority of her album, during several songwriting trips to the idyllic British countryside.
With a British topband of Richard Spaven on drums (Jose James/ Flying Lotus), Grant Windsor on keys (Jose James/ Gregory Porter), fellow songwriters Danny Fisher and David Austin on acoustic guitars, and Alex Bonfanti on (synth)bass she records her new album in the summer of 2014, at the Aviary studio in London. With these recordings in the bag she travels to Berlin in October 2014, where she records the vocals, and mixes the album with Axel Reinemer, at his Jazzanova Recording Studio.
The result is a striking solo debut that blurs the boundaries between cinematic folk, electronica, jazz, and broken beats, and blends them into touching songs.
