An experimental and self taught singer and songwriter originally hailing from South East London, Andreya Triana grew up submerged in a multicultural atmosphere. A unique vocalist, Andreya began singing at the tender age of 7, taking influence from the sights and sounds of inner city London. Her early love and passion for music would see her locked in her bedroom for hours on end writing poetry, making homemade mix tapes and recording tracks – utilising two battered cassette decks to record harmonies. Her early love of improvisation would warp and change over the years, hugely influencing her ‘Freeflo Sessions’ – a hypnotic one woman show using a sampler to loop vocals, percussive sounds and beats live. To date she has taken her Freeflo Sessions worldwide, dazzling audiences far and wide with her cutting edge and soulful performances.
Multiple collaborations ensued daily at the Academy, with ‘Tea Leaf Dancers’, a collaboration with glitchy hip hop producer Flying Lotus (released on Warp Records), was a product of this and has been her most successful musical venture to date. Hailed as a classic while getting rave reviews from Benji B and Gilles Peterson while getting airplay on Annie Mac’s Radio One show, it was this track that also caught the attention of Ninja Tune stalwart Bonobo.
Andreya Triana – That’s Alright With Me
Andreya Triana – That’s Alright With Me Lyrics:
These hours of chasing days
Cause I let go of yesterday
And how I long to see
What this life could be
And I don’t know how we will find
When I’m standing here by your side
And it won’t take much, just what we need
For all we got is love and that’s enough for me
Got all that I want, got all that I need
As long as there is love, then that’s alright with me
That’s alright with me, That’s alright with me
You know me know, I know I’m this
Cause I had to find myself
When I lost an empty place
You kissed her away on my darkest days
And I don’t know how we will find
When I’m standing here by your side
And it won’t take much, just what we need
For all we got is love and that’s enough for me
Got all that I want, got all that I need
As long as there is love, then that’s alright with me
That’s alright with me, That’s alright with me
I’m drowning in the waves and I love you
You know that ain’t hard to see
And heaven knows when I am around you
It’s the only place I wanna be
And it won’t take much, just what we need
For all we got is love and that’s enough for me
Got all that I want, got all that I need
As long as there is love, then that’s alright with me
That’s alright with me, That’s alright with me.
