Michelle Blades crosses over boundaries of genre, combining the philosophy and practices of a Frank Zappa in her liberty of creation; of David Byrne and Mort Garson in terms of musical experimentation. Thus unclassifiable, and with indubitable ease, Michelle Blades satisfies her thirst for musical exploration by playing with texture, language tones, and wordplay, resulting in this intense, gracious ensemble. The themes that inspire the artist - such as time gone by, travel, soul-searching, or the complexities of a personality - are often drawn from elements of her own life spent between Panama, Mexico, Florida and France.
Michelle Blades is back with Visitor. Featuring such tracks such as “Ring,” “Kiss Me on the Mouth,” and “Politic!”, Michelle Blade’s Visitor is the product of several writing periods, a desire to create a coherent album, all while allowing every possibility for creative freedom.
