Marta Valadon’s jazzy release, “Bus To Nowhere” sounds like a journey through the deserted streets of London in the early hours. This song exposes her as a free-spirited violinist and singer-songwriter who can effortlessly combine mood and movement. It has this soft cinematic feel to it that immediately draws you in.
Marta’s voice is warm with the haze of emotion on the ride, creating a sense of intimacy. It’s a gentler kind of storytelling composition, where jazz textures and melancholy combine naturally. This song is about walking around with no direction but still finding the beauty in the unknown of the night.
It ends in a long pause, a space for breathing in contemplation and feeling. Marta Valadon tells you how to take advantage of the poetic and expressive potential of everyday travelling. It's a tale of expressive jazz with a developing artistic sensibility, both reflective and emotional.
