Alli Bean releases debut album

Out of Victoria, Canada comes the multi award-winning singer-songwriter Alli Bean. Her powerful sound of blues and jazz is wrapped up in a catchy pop style, taking influence from artists such as Wynton Kelly, Horace Silver, Fiona Apple and Amy Winehouse.

Having made her debut in 2020 with the single “Twenty Questions”, she’s delighted fans with her infectious brand of grooving blues compositions, lifted by her commanding vocal talents. From that time, due to the pandemic, she’s been unable to bring her songs to audiences with live performances, instead using that time to develop herself as an artist and work on new music.

Now she’s back with the fruits of that work and brings us her debut album, titled Outside Voice. Featuring seven of her favourite original tracks which date back as far as 2017, the album has been painstakingly thought through to create a cohesive collection of the very best of her sound.

From her time performing in cover bands, Alli Bean has built relationships with West Coast Canadian talents Dave Friend and Stewart McLellan who both added their touches to the project, collaborating remotely. On Outside Voice, Alli Bean lays down an upbeat funky blend of R&B and jazz that demonstrates her brilliance as a vocalist as well as a musician and composer.

From album opener “Twenty Questions” to closing track “Not My Problem”, she shares a rhythmic jam full of colour and catchy lead lines. Infused with her soul and emotion, Outside Voice is a personal work that offers an authentic connection between the listeners and an exciting artist on the rise.
