Fridoljin - Frame This
4 Strings & Fridolijn - What Matters Most (RNM)
About
“When all the 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 and Hong Kong, and will be released in the rest of the world on October 30th, 2015

Pre-releasetour
De laatste anderhalf jaar heb ik hard gewerkt aan het schrijven, opnemen, produceren en afmixen van een nieuw album. Na een jaar van componeren en schrijven ben ik afgelopen Augustus naar Londen vertrokken, waar ik samen met een geweldige band de studio in ben gedoken en alle songs in 3 dagen tijd heb opgenomen. In Oktober heb ik in de Jazzanova studio’s in Berlijn alle zang opgenomen en het album afgemixt. Op dit blog zijn wat foto’s te vinden van het hele proces: fridolijn.tumblr.com/tagged/albumrecordings
Het is een heel persoonlijk album geworden met gloednieuwe liedjes, waarbij de grenzen tussen filmische folk, electronica, jazz, singer/songwriter en broken beats samensmelten in mooie, pakkende liedjes. Ik ben enorm trots op het eindresultaat. Het album zal Medio 2015 uitkomen in verschillende landen.
Maar voorafgaand aan de release gaan we van Maart t/m Mei een pre-release tourtje doen van mijn album. Concerten in woonkamers, ateliers, boerderijen en andere mooie locaties, in kleine bezetting met 2 muzikanten.
Hou dit blog in de gaten voor de data. Wil je graag zelf een concert organiseren, neem dan gerust even contact op voor de mogelijkheden! mail[at]fridolijn[punt]com
Little youtube of Roadtrip at Luxor Live Arnhem, during the Ladies of the Lowlands concert.... Tony on squeeky piano
Wat was het bijzondere avond in een uitverkocht, maar muisstil Luxor Live met de Ladies Of The Lowlands laatst! Hier een filmpje van Lies Within, met Tony Roe op (een ietwat krakerige) piano.... ♥ Fridolijn
