Good songs come out of bad times.
This is an idea central to the music of one-woman-band bittymacbeth, who has held her own as a modern soul artiste. The soul of her soulful sounds originates from negative experiences - hers' and others'. She seeks to spark change for the better in herself and others during challenging circumstances.
Armed primarily with only her vocals and bass, bittymacbeth performs solo by her soul-pop and funk music solo through live-looping, coupled with a large element of improvisation. At heart, she is a bandleader, a role which combines her strengths as a performer, composer and arranger together.
With the launch of her upcoming album, she will be combining both live-looping and large ensemble live band performance to make music that lights the darkest corners of the soul.
Singapore Originals is a series put up by Timbre Music and Guinness Amplify to recognise independent original music works by Singaporeans. Singapore Originals happens every last Wednesday of the month at Timbre @ The Substation.
