“When all currents suddenly seem to be flowing in a different direction than you, you can either struggle on, battling the undertow, or you can let go, catch the current, and let yourself be carried towards the unknown” . And that is exactly what Fridolijn did, writing songs about her experiences along the way.
Fridolijn first appeared in 2011 with the release of 'Crossing the Rubicon', by her band Finn Silver. An impressive debut, that used jazz, pop and hiphop influences to create an original sound. The album reached top chart positions in Holland and Japan. It was released in many different countries and brought the band to stages like Billboard Live Tokyo & Osaka as well as North Sea Jazz Festival. Itunes hauled the band 'New Jazz Artist of the Year'.
Besides performing with Finn Silver, Fridolijn got involved in Singer/Songwriter supergroup 'Ladies of the Lowlands', she toured internationally with British jazzband Kairos 4tet and became the host of the monthly vocal session at Amsterdam’s North Sea Jazzclub.
In 2013 she decided to take a step back to focus on writing music again. Drummer Richard Spaven, whom she collaborated with for Finn Silver, introduced her to Danny Fisher and David Austin; two songwriters with whom she ended up writing the majority of her album, during several songwriting trips to the idyllic British countryside.
With a British band of Richard Spaven on drums (Jose James/ Flying Lotus), Grant Windsor on keys (Jose James/ Gregory Porter), fellow songwriters Danny Fisher and David Austin on acoustic guitars, and Alex Bonfanti on bass she recorded her new album in the summer of 2014 at the Aviary studio in London. With these recordings she travelled to Berlin in October 2014, where she recorded the vocals and mixed the album with Axel Reinemer, at the Jazzanova Recording Studio.
The result is Catching Currents: a striking solo debut that blurs the boundaries between cinematic folk, singersongwriter, jazz, electronica, and broken beats and blends them into touching songs.
Catching Currents is out now in Japan on Pvine Records, and in Benelux on V2 Records.
