Grammy-nominated Gretchen returns after a six-year focus on motherhood with Flor: a project celebrating her love and admiration for Brazilian music. Flor weaves new sonic textures of guitar, cello, and percussion/drums, exquisitely complementing the intensity and delicacies of Gretchen's signature voice.

April 2021

In a stroke of arranging genius, one of Roy Hargrove’s greatest tunes, ‘Roy Allan’, from his 1995 Verve album Family, is transformed into a mesmerising samba, its preludial opening of voice and percussion featuring the great Airto Moreira suddenly bursting forth in a glorious blast of choral colour and warmth. It is, without question, one of the greatest feats of musical alchemy you’ll hear this year.

Flor is not just an arresting listen but a brilliantly diverse one at that, and Gretchen really makes the material her own.
