Uralla-based singer-songwriter Jhana Allan celebrates the release of her sophomore album, titled ‘Fake Paradise’. Themes of desire, addiction, and awareness of the artist’s own need for prioritising rest, forms the backdrop of this shape-shifting release.
In 2022 Allan raised thousands of dollars from her community and fans via Kickstarter, and travelled to Nashville in January of 2023 to record with Baiman and multi Grammy-winning engineer Sean Sullivan, with a band of session musicians including guitar player Cy Winstanley (Brandy Clark), drummer Jon Epcar (Bono, Rihanna, Colbie Caillat), and Baiman’s band members; drummer Lauren Horbal and bass player Steve Haan.
Drawing inspiration from musicians like The Weather Station, Sam Amidon, PJ Harvey, and Lucie Thorne, the album moves through folk, jazz, and rock soundscapes, retaining a throughline of Allan’s visceral and emotive writing and singing, and grounded by her layered vocal presence. Allan's distinctive cross-picking mandolin style, jazzy fiddle chops and mournful piano ballads provide a rich backdrop for her storytelling.
Maisie B adores and craves connecting with others through the vulnerability of their music. An experienced performer and multi-instrumentalist, they seamlessly weave together their favourite elements of folk, jazz and alt pop to curate a sound that is texturally rich, emotionally charged and an intricate fusion of everything they love.
