Fabiana Palladino (CD)

For more or less a brand-new artist, Fabiana Palladino faces an unusual level of anticipation. The London musician broke out in 2017 as one of the Paul Institutes founding artists after her shadowy, classicist R&B influenced pop reached Jai Paul, who started the label alongside his brother A. K. Paul. Releasing just three singles in four years, she caught the ear of critics Pitchfork likened Mystery to a scratch track from a big-budget 80s studio thats been smuggled out on reel-to-reel
tape but Palladinos output remained slight while she worked as an in-demand session musician for the likes of SBTRKT and Jessie Ware, cycling from one tour to the next. This year, she formed part of Jais band for his live debut (which she also supported), the most wildly awaited performances in years. Im taking it one bit at a time because it is very strange and a bit overwhelming, says Palladino.
