.
It gives us great pleasure to announce the eagerly anticipated second solo album from vocalist, violinist, songwriter/composer and improviser Alice Zawadzki, Within You Is A World Of Spring on October 11th this year (CD / DL / 2xLP). The follow up to critically acclaimed debut China Lane, this latest offering is about the tiny seed within every person that promises realisation, change, and rebirth. Not just a Spring of sunlight and flowers, but also of turbulence, brutality, puberty, and power, this collection of songs features a who’s-who from London’s vibrant music scene, and showcases Zawadzki’s distinctive and individual creative talents which gained her international acclaim after the release of her debut.
