Eska ‘the Ordinary Life Of A Magic Woman’

She’s up there with the very greatest musicians working today - not only "one of the most important singers in the UK,” as Gilles Peterson rightly put it, but a composer, arranger, producer, conceptualist and actor whose artistry spans genres, disciplines and institutions, from underground improvisation scenes to fashion houses. ESKA brings a rare fusion of technical mastery, emotional depth and fearless experimentation to everything she touches.
ESKA has collaborated with Grace Jones, Tony Allen, UNKLE, Kae Tempest, Zero 7, Shabaka Hutchings, Nitin Sawhney, Matthew Herbert, Baxter Dury and many more.
She can leap from sweet jazz-folk to radical avant-garde improv at the drop of a hat - but the “Magic Woman” ESKA sees in herself, and who inspired her latest album The Ordinary Life of a Magic Woman, lives far from the spotlight, rooted in the rhythm of everyday life. This is s a bold new chapter: emotionally rich, sonically expansive, and unafraid of pop forms, even as it remains utterly idiosyncratic.
