Sandra Bouza

Every now and then, if we are really lucky, we encounter an artist like Sandra Bouza who gets right down into our blood and bones. An artist whose voice stops us in our tracks.

Her latest album, ’A Sound in the Dark.’ came together during an artist’s residency on Halls Island. Everyone who’s heard her sing knows that Sandra’s always been a powerful vocalist and compelling songwriter, but with the new recording, she has truly found her own voice, and the promise of her earlier work has come to fruition.

She performs with powerful, highly nuanced phrasing. Like Amy Winehouse and Adele, Sandra’s absorbed a lot from the golden age of R&B and has emerged with a style all her own. Gifted with a masterful sense of poise and control, few singers can inhabit a vocal like Bouza does.
