Info for common thread

Pippa Blundell ist eine aufstrebende Singer-Songwriterin, die bereits von den Scottish Album of the Year Awards im Rahmen ihrer „Sound of Young Scotland“-Nominierungen für die Jahre 2023 und 2024 anerkannt wurde und von Vic Galloway von BBC Radio Scotland als einer seiner „Artists to watch“ bezeichnet wird. Aus den gleichen Gründen war SGR schon früh ein Verfechter von Pippa und ihrer Musik und hat ihre exquisite Debüt-CD Sisters mit 4 Tracks in sein Sortiment aufgenommen und sie eingeladen, während unserer RSD-Feierlichkeiten live zu spielen, was die Menge sofort in ihren Bann zog.

Pippa lässt sich von der erzählenden Tradition der Folkmusik beeinflussen, bringt aber auch Ambient-Sounds und klassische Gesangseinflüsse mit ein. Ihre Musik ist inspiriert von Bands wie Anna B Savage, Laura Marling, This Is The Kit und The Weather Station. Sie nutzt das Songwriting als eine Form der Therapie und der Verbindung zu sich selbst und behandelt in ihren Texten Themen wie Liebe, Trauer und Frausein.

Pippa Blundell
Drawing influence from the storytelling lineage of folk music, whilst also bringing in ambient sounds and classical vocal influences, Pippa’s music draws inspiration from the likes of Anna B Savage, Laura Marling, This Is The Kit and The Weather Station. Pippa Blundell is a rising singer-songwriter already recognised by the Scottish Album of the Year Awards in their ‘Sound of Young Scotland’ nominations across 2023 & 2024, and by BBC Radio Scotland’s Vic Galloway as one of his ‘artists to watch’. Utilising songwriting as a form of therapy and connection to herself, her lyrics draw on themes of love, grief and womanhood. Since releasing her debut EP ‘sisters’ in 2023, she has supported the likes of Mercury Prize-nominee corto.alto, Rachel Sermanni, Kaia Kater and Nubiyan Twist.

Pippa graduated from the Royal conservatoire of Scotland in 2022 with a degree in Mezzo-Soprano voice, initially aspiring to be an Opera singer her passions naturally led her to song-writing and composition. She found her true belonging in the pubs, clubs and venues of Glasgow’s thriving contemporary music scene. Her debut EP, "Sisters," was launched in September 2023 as a set of four stripped back and reflective tracks. Pippa writes, "Sisters is about my constant journey of understanding what womanhood means to me. It’s an interrogation of the women in my life, and the intricacies of being a young woman in her early 20s. It's about how my mother raised me, how she upset me, how she loved me. It's about friendship, understanding love, and being a woman in love. It’s an ode to the messy, and the beautiful. It's about sisters.” In May 2024 Pippa she released her single “That’s Fine”, a love letter and reflection of her home city of Glasgow, about how the people of Glasgow support each other through struggle with humour, community and togetherness. She recently collaborated with new Scottish producer ROKI on a remix of her track ‘reason’ from the debut EP. Fusing new wave bass electronica with lyrical alternative folk.
