Soul: Andreya Triana


Many of the artists I discuss on this blog are usually famous, maybe not worldwide but at least somewhere in the world. This however is not the case for British singer Andreya Triana with modest YouTube views (in the 100,000's). I first heard Andreya in a videogame called Sleeping Dogs, where she was featured on the radio station Ninja Tune with her single Lost Where I Belong. Whenever the song would play I'd stop doing whatever it was I was doing in the game and just listened. Her music is very soulful and relaxing to listen to and her tone is slightly comparable to Amy Winehouse albeit less raw-sounding. During her time at record label Ninja Tune she released several singles including A TownCalled Obsolete and The Keeper, a collaboration with label mate Bonobo. In 2014 she signed with Counter Records where she released her album Giants in 2015 featuring singles That's Alright With Me and Playing With Fire. This latest album's sound is a bit more poppy compared to her earlier work, but still very enjoyable and deserving of more recognition than she is getting now.
