Fiona Brice - And You Know I Care (Vinyl)

Fiona Brice's second solo album for Bella Union, And You Know I Care is a deep listening experience that raises the post-classical bar, eschewing the genre's default melancholia for wider and richer dimensions of uplifting and exultant bliss with a range and contrast that ensures this is no new age-style panacea. Brice has drawn on all the experience gained working with the likes of John Grant, Anna Calvi, Jarvis Cocker, Kanye West, Beyoncé, Katherine Jenkins, Gorillaz, Elbow, the BBC Concert Orchestra, the BB Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Mozart Players. Her debut album Postcards From, a more minimalist, filmic set of instrumentals, was released in 2016. After two purer classical projects, String Quartet No.1 in 2018, and the lockdown-inspired Piano Preludes in 2021, And You Know I Care is a more wide-ranging, ruminating work, and showcases Brice's voice, lyrics and choral arrangements."I wanted to make a record that was meditative, compassionate, calm and reflective, as a reaction to the increasingly noisy, opinionated, conflicted, aggressive and polemic tone of our daily environment," says Fiona Brice.
