Original Release Date 24.05.04.

Pre-Order Date 01.03.19
Re-Release Date 15.03.19.

South Wales singer-songwriter Volenté is proud to present her debut album Cold

Clean. Having spent time on the music scenes in South Africa and Holland, this

talented musician has been an established part of the Welsh music scene for the past few years, having performed on MC MABON and JT Mouse albums, as well as being the front woman of the acclaimed Maniana project in 2003.

Having been part of so many different projects, Volenté decided it was time to put her own music on record, so she wrote, produced and arranged this album and played most of the instrumentation on it! The haunting vocals, sublime lyrics and beautiful sounds on the album are sure to move the listener. From the mellow How Beautiful You Are devoted to her son, to her impressive vocal range on Bag of Chips, the album is packed with wonderfully original material.

It’s hard to pigeon-hole Volenté’s music, though comparisons have been made to the likes of Bjork, cult indie favourites the Sundays, Lambchop and Kate Bush. This album presents us with Volenté's thoughts on life, love and loss over twelve haunting tracks all written, produced, arranged and performed by Volenté herself.

All in all, Cold Clean is a great debut album from one of the most promising female artists to emerge in recent years ...

These tracks are a curious fusion of drum ’n bass, jungle, electronica, classical music and R ‘n’

B, with the heavy element of dubstep thrown in for good measure.

“a breath of fresh air for those who want to get past the mainstream electronic R’n'B genre of

recent times and listen to something a little bit different” samueljsaunders.co.uk

Broken promises is a brutally honest bittersweet anthem with soaring operatic vocals, a fusion

of classical music, electronic guitar, drum ‘n bass beats and some dubstep thrown in the mix.

vocal range with a hint of Massive Attack-like elements. With her effortless amazing vocal range,

this track really showcases Volente’s ability to create totally unique songs, while remaining true to

her own style. A minimal but very powerful track! End of Time’s beats and vocals hit the listener

like an arrow to a target! With industrial-like hooks, a heavy sub-bass, a bit of jungle and Volenté’s

mesmerising, beautiful, haunting vocals will take you to another level. This track is definitely one

set for the dance floor! Compared by critics to the likes of Bjork, cult indie favourites the Sundays

and Kate Bush, ‘Broken Promises’, once again all produced, written, arranged and performed

by Volenté herself, represents Volenté at her best!

Gigs and Festivals - "If you like Kate Bush, classical music, dubstep and beautifully written lyrics then Volente's new single "Broken Promises" is the must-have download. Boasting an exciting new sub-genre of electronic music, which intertwines drum 'n' bass beats with operatic vocals, this captivating singer-songwriter offers a chilling sound that will etch its way into your mind and seep into your subconscious long after you've finished listening"

Rogue Magazine - "A unique voice, both haunting and beguiling. One of the most interesting tracks I've heard for a while"

Festivals for All – “With a quirky sideways look, Volenté offers up a nightmarish feast for the imagination. Electronics and the ethereal vocals combine to create a sound world that is at once contemporary and off-beat.”

Buzz Magazine – “Volenté is a lady of musical layers. On the title track of this EP, a liquid drum’n’bass line underpins soaring orchestral loops and a distinctive, floaty vocal that sets her apart from other outfits in the genre.”
