“Manchester’s answer to Aretha Franklin.”

Tony Wilson, Factory Records

Daughter of cult blues figure, Victor Brox, the Mancunian vocalist began her career as a teenager in her father’s band and has now honed her own sophisticated sound, as heard on her last two critically acclaimed and award-nominated albums, Throw Away Your Bluesand Pain & Glory, which reached No.1in the IBBA Charts for 2019 and was nominated Best Album in both the European and UK Blues Awards. Her voice; tender, urgent, gritty, blurring the distinction between pleasure and pain.

Kyla Brox is one of the very best soul-blues singers the British Isles has ever produced, and with the arrival of this beautifully composed cornucopia of an album, her time has come.

“Kyla Brox knows how to handle the gears… the Mancunian vocalist lets songs percolate, raising the temperature by degrees, then giving it both barrels in the final stretch. It’s a thrilling tactic.” Henry Yates, The Blues Magazine
