Saudade is out today!

This one is truly a family affair. A song shaped by so many incredible people and so much love along the way.

We first started building the idea with @moysesdossantos and @lyndadawn_ at my studio in London. Then the amazing @theocroker brought his touch to it, including a beautiful melodic trumpet solo.

When maestro @arthurverocai_ agreed to create the string arrangement, we honestly couldn’t believe it. Having been inspired by his music for so many years, this feels like a real bucket-list moment.

Huge love to @kikocontinetino for bringing those authentic Brazilian keys, and to the brilliant @milescjames for adding the final sparkles and touches.

Big thanks as well to my brother @riccardodamian for helping bring this record over the line, and to @freemonk_thefriarystudios for the mix and all the analogue magic.

And of course, my brother in groove @francescomendolia on drums, recorded by @aelovera, with percussion from @dadacostarj.

So grateful to everyone who helped make this record what it is ❤️🇧🇷 taken in London, United Kingdom by @_ankitsuri

It’s been a busy stretch in @lyndadawn_ world! The most recent highlight being a main stage appearance at @xthetracks festival last month on this beautiful sunny day. Made all the more special with a link up with @freenationals familia. Full circle stuff.

Earlier this year we did a main show at @officialronnies, a UK tour and a string of international shows, including @jassminewarsaw.

Not to mention a live session with @gillespeterson at the legendary Maida Vale studios.

Grateful to work with this brilliant team and to bring Lynda’s music to the stage. Up next - @porijazz in Finland, and back for @weoutherefest and a headline appearance at @jazzonwickldn - See you out there! 📸: @studiogardn taken in London, United Kingdom by @_ankitsuri

anaiis (@hotcocoacartel) live at Islington Assembly Hall.

An honour and a joy to be on MD and keys duties for this special show, celebrating the album “Devotion & The Black Divine.”

Bringing the intricacy and emotion of this music to life alongside such an incredible team was truly one for the books.

Huge shoutout to the fantastic band and the phenomenal choir SAUTI, directed by the multi-talented @tawiahmusic.

Thank you to Dave Bartley from 5dB holding it down on FOH.

@facesoul live at @islington_ah - these were a few of the many special moments from this night. Was a honor to be the MD with such a fantastic team.

A one-off full band show, songs we wrote together, and sharing the stage with my brother @facesoul

So much to share from this week and run up to these stretch of shows, but all I’ll say as it takes a village to make these shows come together.

Big ups to the band:
