Heidi Vogel - Turn Up the Quiet - Electronica - CD

2013 release. Heidi Vogel debuts her solo album Turn Up The Quiet, following on from her many successes with the critically acclaimed The Cinematic Orchestra. A deeply moving collection of classic '60s/'70s Brazilian songs, interpreted and presented in a unique, intimate fashion and with a timeless sound. Heidi has a voice that comes from the deepest places of the heart. Her honest interpretation of songs, and powerful stage presence make her an utterly beguiling performer and this is the blend that emerges from her debut solo album Turn Up The Quiet where she elegantly interprets songs of great composers such as Antonio Carlos Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes and Joe Henderson. Recorded and mixed by Demus at Fish Factory and Mancrush Studios, this album showcases the singer's undeniable connection and resounding passion for Brazilian music. Her capacity to unfurl long-lined melodies unveils her intimate yet direct presence that goes beyond genre or style. Heidi is accompanied throughout the album by the very talented guitarist Josue Ferreira as well as guests musicians including vocalist Cleveland Watkiss, pianist Austin Peralta and Ivo Neame. The album is enhanced further by remixes from The Cinematic Orchestra, IG Culture and Emanative. Initially making her professional debut touring with Cirque du Soleil, she became a frequent face in the London and LA jazz and soul scene where she became involved with The Cinematic Orchestra as their lead singer. Her signature musicality and technique which entrances the listener is captured perfectly in this full-length offering, Turn Up The Quiet.
