The composer and singer performs music from her highly anticipated new album ‘Limbs’, released in February 2022, plus songs from her debut album ‘Debris’ and EP ‘Photograph’. Described as “one of the most remarkable [albums] in years” by The Sunday Times, Forsyth’s debut album ‘Debris’, released in January 2020 and written in collaboration with pianist and composer Matthew Bourne, was met with unanimously positive critical acclaim.
Built upon sparse arrangements, Forsyth’s music is centred around a singular, emotionally raw and magnetic vocal delivery, by turns devastating and uplifting. Her songs tell of high and low tides, of freedom and entrapment, of hard-won triumphs and the darker corners of domestic life. New album ‘Limbs’ sees Forsyth expand on the intoxicating sound palette of ‘Debris’.
Understated but devastating, the success of ‘Debris’ led to a transformation as the songs were brought to the stage. Forsyth is an innate performer and anyone who has seen her mesmerising live shows can testify to their raw power, with a standout set at last year’s End of the Road festival described as “arguably the weekend’s most striking performance” by Loud and Quiet.
