This week’s PBS Feature Album is From The Fire, the debut album by Audrey Powne.
Embracing all evolutions as a musician and composer, Audrey Powne releases From The Fire via independent UK record label BBE. Cover to cover telling her story of recovery, persistence, and survival, the album is one complete body of work, drawing from experiences in her own life and watching the world around her.
Connecting each track through reappearing motifs and themes, the material travels through Audrey's own experiences in ‘Sleep’, ‘Survival’ and ‘From The Fire’, and critiques of systems and powers at play in ‘Indigo’ and first single ‘Feed The Fire’, opened by a theatre styled ‘Overture’. Drawing on influences including Bill Evans, Archie Shepp, and many more, From The Fire blends genres of jazz and neo soul into hip-hop moments, with instrumental interludes that spotlight her career performing trumpet.
Tune in all this week to hear tracks from From The Fire, and PBS Members have the chance to win a copy of the album on vinyl, simply email your name and membership number to before midnight Sunday May 5. Please note vinyl giveaways must be picked up from the station in Collingwood.
