Speech Debelle is set to release new album 'tantil before i breathe.' on March 17th.
The one-time Mercury winner is gearing up for her third album, an entirely independent release that will be accompanied by a cook book.
Speech Debelle filters her experiences in the music industry through the often quite personal new material, as she aims to “recognise the scars, uncover the reasons, then let the light in and become whole.”
"I've been an open book since the beginning, it made sense to put that into something tangible. I've experienced so much in my career that I wanted to share some of the stories. These are the lessons I've learnt about the business and myself; the journey with the two has been parallel,” Speech explains.
"The healing happens when we're ready. There'll be that one lover that'll show you what you need to show yourself. The conversation you've been waiting your whole life to have with your mother or father without even knowing it. That look in the mirror one day when you see yourself as beautiful. Your skin, bones and soul.”
