ABOUT THIS ITEM

While the title of Andreya Triana’s debut album suggests that she doesn’t know where she’s going or where she’s come from, few things could be further from the truth. Whether working with Flying Lotus, Theo Parrish, Mr Scruff or Bonobo, Triana has been herself and only herself.

Hooking up with Bonobo's Simon Green (who featured her on his "Black Sands" LP), the two of them fashioned the sound of her songs together in his studio in East London, working with live musicians, both playing and using samples of found sounds to stitch together soul music both timelessly classic and utterly contemporary. From the marimba-led longing of “Draw The Stars” (where you can almost feel the constellations turning above your head), through the epic build of the title track, the odd fairground wooziness of “Daydreamers,” the relaxed funk of “Up In Fire” or the stillness of torch song ‘X,” “Lost Where I Belong” showcases a great voice, fantastic songwriting and superb production. It’s a seemingly effortless combination which is actually the result of hard work, faith, self-belief and focus. It’s a testament to Triana’s skill and talent that we can listen to the tales of these tribulations and find in them only beauty, emotion and most of all, soul.
