New music from OBEHI....




OBEHI - ‘Bittersweet’
EP – August 2011


http://www.obehionline.com/

R’n’B singer songwriter, Obehi will be releasing her new EP, Bittersweet on 1st August. The four-track release is a collection of R’n’B crossover, soaring and soulful love songs.

She will also be playing a series of dates throughout the summer to support the release, including Voo Doo Rooms in Edinburgh on 9th July and Embassy Mayfair on 24 September.

After moving to Scotland from Nigeria at the age of 8 Obehi forged her cultural identity through exploring her love of soul and pop music. Early influences on Obehi’s moving and melancholic style range from the inimitable Luther Vandross to the magnificent Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke.

The EP was written by Obehi and produced by Gaeme Young and Jamie Turnbull of Chamber Studios in Edinburgh.

As Obehi herself claims “When I started out I knew nothing about releasing records I was just a girl with a mic’ who loved to sing.” Such a frailty, innocence and deep-seeded love is at the heart and soul of Bittersweet, an EP which marks the culmination of years of dreaming and hard-work and shows Obehi to be a delicate yet powerful soul singer with a deft touch for pop and R’n’B production.


OBEHI is giving away a track called Heartbreaker as a free download if that’s of interest for the website? Listening links and press release are below. Let me know if you would like me to put a copy of the EP in the post to you.
