Jazz Souled Out- In Association with Shades of Soul Ltd
Eli Cripps 'Revelations'
PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho)
After her last sold out show Eli Cripps returns to show case her latest record. Eli Cripps’s nomadic upbringing living across the African continent has arguably been the biggest influence on her music, giving her an appreciation for harmonic chanting and syncopated rhythms. She credits her family’s eclectic record collection as the source of her musical education, with influences including classical, jazz and blues. She released her album Mars in 2018, where she explored her love of cinematic soundscapes, orchestral touches and Afrobeat rhythms, touring the record in Europe. It was then that Eli understood she felt most authentically herself when performing, better at channelling her innermost feelings on stage than in any other way. Her 2022 Revelations record is a testament to her dearth of potential, showcasing her impressive vocal range and versatility across musical styles. It’s a stunning example of her ability to use her voice as conduit for the spectrum of life’s emotions.
