Ndidi O "He Needs Me"

Imagine a voice that sings the blues like a street-wise angel: smoky,nuanced, filled with feeling. A voice equally at home with jazz and soul,that shifts from folk and chanson to country, cabaret and elsewhere with ease. A sweet, strong voice suited to extreme emotions. Now picture a dark-haired woman in satin and tulle, dancing fast in red patent heels. A woman inspired by love and loss, by poetry, gravestones and eavesdropped conversations. A complex, enigmatic woman of Nigerian/German descent who grew up in British Columbia, Canada, watching grizzly bears roam - and escaping, when she could, into fantasy. Conjure all this then say the name: Ndidi Onukwulu. Ndidi. N-dee-dee. Get used to it. It’s a name you’ll be hearing often.
