Acclaimed British-Irish singer and songwriter Ayala will celebrate the launch of her much-anticipated new album, The Crossing, with an exclusive live performance at the 606 Jazz Club in London on September 5th, 2024. This intimate gig marks the first performance of three new singles with the full digital album release set for September 27th, 2024.
Ayala is a versatile artist whose career has spanned multiple genres and continents. Known for her distinctive fusion of jazz, soul, and Latin music, she has worked with renowned artists such as Gilbert O’Sullivan, Horacio Palencia, Los Rumberos, and Lupita Infante. Her previous works have showcased her ability to blend cultural influences, particularly those from her time living and working in Mexico.
The Crossing embodies Ayala’s unique sound, drawing on influences from The Carpenters and The Beatles to Ella Fitzgerald, with modern touches reminiscent of D’Angelo and Jill Scott. The album, recorded at the legendary RAK Studios in London using analogue techniques, features an all-star lineup of musicians, including Paul Turner (Jamiroquai), Alex Reeves (Elbow), Chris Hill (Jamie Cullum), and Troy Miller (Amy Winehouse). Produced by Juan Luis Ayala, David Grant, and Sam Grimley, and mixed by award-winning engineer Richard Woodcraft, the album promises a timeless, high-end sound.
Ayala’s upcoming performance at the 606 Jazz Club offers fans a rare opportunity to experience her new material in an intimate setting. The evening will feature some of the UK’s finest jazz musicians, a powerful horn section, and soulful backing vocals, bringing her thrilling sound to life.
Having spent recent years splitting her time between London and Mexico City, Ayala cleverly blends Mexican folk elements with British jazz-pop, creating a truly global sound. The launch event at the 606 Jazz Club, which sits at the heart of the British jazz scene, is a fitting homecoming for Ayala as she returns to London with her latest work.
