Essie Jain has always let her emotion and life experience be expressed through her music, laying bare a deep, and oftentimes dark, stream of consciousness. Her soulful offerings are meeting places where dark and light collide, illuminating her most glorious and passionate connection with the world.
But what was once an outlet to express emotions she struggled to even talk about, has now become the most wonderful expression of her own life and light. This will be Jain’s first album in almost four years and marks the genesis of a more joyful creative direction with her songwriting.
Conceived and directed by Natalie Johns “All Became Golden” will be a recorded collection of songs written and performed by Jain and arranged by the critically acclaimed composer Nico Muhly, who has previously collaborated with artists such as Bjork and Antony and The Johnsons. Followers and admirers of Jain’s works have long wondered why she has remained underground for so long; Johns, who counts We Made This Ourselves as one of her top ten all-time favorite records, fell in love with the idea of representing and reintroducing Essie to the world in the true light that she deserves.
Inspired by Frank Sinatra’s recording process, the sessions in February 2012 will be open to a small invited audience who will attend the live orchestral recordings in the beautiful, newly opened, DiMenna Center for Classical Music. The resultant record will be released as an audiovisual album, aimed at capturing a magical collaboration of Nico and Essie, the recording process and Jain’s deep connection to the music.

HIDDEN HIVE's KISSING KIN SPLIT VINYL SERIES...Showcasing her magnificent voice amidst stripped and stark folk songs, this version of 'Stop' is stunning; simply Essie's voice and a gentle arpeggio motif, and nothing more is needed. info@hiddenhive.co.uk for more info on copies and subscriptions
