Anna Calvi's extrodinary debut is shaping up to be the most talked about records of 2011. Brian Eno has championed her as the most visionary female artiste since a certain Patti Smith, Nick Cave has just taken her out around Europe as special guest of Grinderman and Rob Ellis (PJ Harvey's right hand studio man) has produced the music. An inspired guitarist influenced by Django reinhardt as much as Jumi Hendrix and with vocals inspired by Nina Simone and Maria Callas, the music is a passionate and incredibly original mix. The live shows with her permanent three piece band are already wowing audiences across the globe.
