Editor Stephen Hill - 14th / Jan/ 2024

Former All Saints singer  Shaznay Lewis delivers her first solo music since 2000  with new single Miracle. The new single delivers breezy cinematic pop and R&B flavours, whilst capturing the magic of her many compositions for All Saints. 

The singer will unveil her sophomore solo album titled Pages on the 17th of May 2024.  

On her latest single, the said , “‘Miracle’ was a journey, a relentless writing process between Emily Phillips and me. 

We wanted to pushed each other, we changed things a lot until, and when we finally listened to it I realized it was a love song to myself, about the person I’ve been for the past 25 years and where I am now. 

It’s a message of encouragement to return to my love of writing with self-esteem, and confidence in the way that made me happy.” 

 Miracle captures the timeless appeal of Shaznay’s music style with her co-writers Anthony Whiting and Emily Phillips capturing her distinctively cool vibe. Shaznay will be delivering Pages, her full-length album in 2024, with collaborators including Ben Cullum, Michael Angelo, Johan Hugo, Jez Ashurst, Moyses Dos Santos and Charlie Stacey.  

Describing the album in recent  press release the singer says, ‘Pages’ is a lush masterpiece of psychedelic soul, cinematic strings and sophisticated R&B that combines her established songwriting with the kind of lyrical wisdom which can only come from experience. 

Coming from someone blessed with deep vocal expressiveness, someone with an avowed “allergy to auto-tune,” it is also a reminder of what real soul sounds like. Its lyrics often feel like a diaristic confessional, as loneliness, heartbreak and the bittersweet realities of life abound. 

They come from distant memories of being in such situations and of empathizing with others’ struggles, all magnified by the big stage drama that Shaznay loves in music.

The question is whether the new album will fair better than her debut solo album "OPEN" which peaked at 22 on the Official UK chart in July 2004.
