Speech Debelle kicked in the music industry’s backdoor in 2009, waving her sensitive, introspective Mercury Prize ‘British Album of the Year’ and debut album ‘Speech Therapy’, beating the likes of Florence and the Machine, Kasabian and La Roux. Melding acoustic jazz-leaning sounds such as clarinet with her delicate spoken-word the record is one of Debelle’s many introspective and powerful works.

Her 2012 Kwes-produced sophomore album ‘Freedom of Speech’ commanded further critical acclaim, while expanding Speech’s captivating flair for poetic testimonies, playful narratives and dynamic rumination on power, politics and pleasure. A poet and rapper at the top of her game, she’s worked with artists and producers across genres, such as Mica Levi, Wiley, Roots Manuva, Nubya Garcia, Akala and Bonobo, demonstrating her diversity and skill.

She now returns with her 2023 offering – Sunday Dinner on a Monday. Don’t miss the chance to see her latest works live.
