While claiming a place for herself in contemporary folk, the orbit of Imelda’s musical taste follows a path that winds itself through elements of jazz, blues, and soul too. Currently shaping her third long-player into existence and readiness for the world, Imelda’s adventurous sonic spirit can be traced back to the early influence of her father’s record collection, and names like Nat King Cole, Buddy Holly, Simon and Garfunkel, the Beach Boys, and the Mamas and Papas. All are artists of iconic standing, whose very artistry set them apart from ‘the crowd’, rather than simply seeing them blend into it. Her songs are Melody rich, full of stories, life experiences written with the listener at heart.
