Tirzah’sColourgradetook about a year-and-a-halfto write and record. If you knowanything about the soulfulSouth London performerthat’s basically lightning speed,especially given her long-awaited album debutDevotiontook something like 12years to produce.An immediate cult classic, the 2018 LPwas dropped to criticalacclaim five years since underground dance-pop hit “I’m Not Dancing”leftTirzah andMicachu (aka Mica Levi) fans wanting more. Following a smattering of small releasesin the meantime, they were duly rewarded with the slow-burning longing ofDevotion.It was the product of countless recording sessions in as many different locations,including Dan Carey’s Mr Punch, KaeTempest’s studio, and miscellaneous sharehouses across the city throughoutTirzah’s 20s, while she was still working full-timein fashion.There was a fourth and final version of minimal groove “GoNow”—recorded whenTirzah and long-time friend and producer Levi (affectionatelyreferred to as ‘Meeks’) were still in their teens.There were also music videos by thelikes of Leah Walker andAkinola Davies Jr to accompany the dilapidated,bass-heavy compositions of sample loops and vocal cut ups of tracks like “Gladly”and title-track “Devotion”. Not surprisingly, they each feature an array of friends andcollaborators from the vital post-grime and UK garage scene thatTirzah gingerlygrew into and continues to work with to this day.“I wonder if I will want to write about love at that point,” the modest neo-RnB artistconfessed two years ago about following upDevotion’sthemes of romanticobsession after becoming a mother. “Or whether I'll be like, ‘okay, now I've got mylittle nest, I can fetishise elsewhere.”ColourgradeisTirzah’s answer, with its focusbeing on a different kind of love—that of a parent for their child. “It's just so definite,”she says now, about the great and the scary side of motherhood that influences her.“You know when you’re in love you’re thinking, in a lot of ways, about the otherperson? Obviously, you do that all the time with your child, but you're not reallythinking about much other than just these underlying, massive feelings.This is justliterally pure love”

Tirzah sera en concert le 18 mars 2022 au Café de la Danse pour présenter son dernier album " Colourgrade" sorti en octobre 2021. "Colourgrade" fait suite à son album "Devotion" sorti en 2018, devenu un classique instantané. "Colourgrade" est un aperçu intime d'une année où Tirzah jouait régulièrement sur scène pour soutenir son album "Devotion", et a été enregistré peu après la naissance de son premier enfant et peu avant la naissance de son deuxième enfant.
Comme à l’accoutumée, un album de Tirzah est une affaire de famille. Il ne s'agit pas de parents, ni de frères et soeurs, mais du CURL crew élargi comprenant ses collaborateurs de longue date Mica Levi et Coby Sey (le petit frère du producteur Kwes) qui a réalisé le mix de Colourgrade. C'est cette énergie naturelle et collaborative qui permet à la musique de Tirzah de rester fraîche et progressive.

Cet événement est réservé aux personnes de plus de 18 ans.
