Little Violet

The retro pop piano-playing chanteuse and band, stormed the vintage scene back in 2012 as early pioneers of electro swing on the short-lived label Cuckoo Records from Leeds. Returning with a string of perfectly crafted singles showcasing their lyrical and songwriting prowess, the team built slowly but surely towards their debut album CODE RED (2021) with the UK record label here: This Is Freshly Squeezed. The album scored numerous number 1 placements, chart positions (including the iTunes Jazz chart) and critical acclaim. Jazzy vocals, sophisticated lyrics and classic song writing combine to lift the quality bar high. Holding up to comparisons with the likes of label mates Swingrowers, Swing Republic or Caro Emerald, this female-fronted project combines similar influences mixing vintage swing with modern dance music. This was exemplified with her hat trick of electro swing collaborations with the cream of the scene's producers, Pisk, Jamie Berry, and Odd Chap.
