Strama shares new Bossa nova single ‘Milk and Honey’
22 year old artist, songwriter and producer Strama boldly begins 2022 with her modern Jazz-inspired/alt R&B single ‘Milk and Honey’, where challenging themes of death and grief resonate; ultimately accepting the passing of life. Alongside the Brazilian inspired rhythms and rich harmony, the London-based storyteller hypnotises listeners with her impressive penmanship and silky vocal tones.
Amongst this nostalgic combination of summer bliss and winter blues, the musician adds: “Given the times, it can be difficult to speak about grief. It’s very personal and confrontational, but I hope people find comfort in the song during their own different stages of sorrow.
“I’ve always loved Latin American Jazz, and more specifically Brazilian Bossa nova music. I grew up listening to João Gilberto and Astrud Gilberto religiously. There’s a special intimacy and warmth this kind of music draws out that you don’t often find elsewhere.”
