Abi Farrell

Described by London’s ‘Soul Stripped Sessions’ as ‘a powerhouse and then some’, Oxfordshire’s Abi Farrell was raised on a soundtrack of female-driven pop, funk and soul. Influences from the likes of Aretha, Carole King, Eva Cassidy and Chaka Khan may all be present in Abi’s music but each song is brought into the here and now by her effortlessly pure voice and lyrical dexterity. In November 2019 she released her debut EP ‘The Only Way I Learn’ which has amassed nearly 50K streams to date. Following its release, Abi was named Richer Unsigned’s ‘Artist of the Week’ - “Abi’s control and vibrato of her incredible vocal tone is truly stunning”. At an East London jam In February 2020, a chance meeting with Nick Corbin (New Street Adventure, Lack of Afro, Laville, Big AC Records), sparked a songwriting partnership that would develop fruitfully over lockdown. A shared love of soulful music contributed to ‘Empowered’ - Abi’s solo composition, re-produced in demo form by Nick - and the co-written ‘I Will See You Through’. The songs attracted the attention of producer, Mitch Ayling (The Milk), who invited Abi and her band to record at Woods Lodge Studio in Essex. Look out for the limited edition 7” vinyl featuring “Empowered” and “I Will See You Through” on Big AC Records in early 2021! www.abifarrell.com
