ABOUT RODINA

Originally from Co. Laois in Ireland and then emerging from the diverse Leeds music scene, Rodina has a unique style of her own but has been compared to Morcheeba, Goldfrapp and legendary singer, Astrud Gilberto. Her debut album "Over the Sun" is a cool blend of chill-out, jazz and pop

some of the reception to "Over The Sun":

“a solo singer who embraces acoustica and latino rhythms with a sweet aplomb….. Rodina unrelentlessly emphasizes quality and sweetness. Sort of like an angel holding court in a smokey, chilled underground bar. A classy performance ….” – Manchestermusic - www.manchestermusic.co.uk

"...obvious talent, and exceptional songwriting..." - audioscribbler

“We have to applaud Rodina's attempt in assembling an album that highlights different angles of jazz, soul and pop music. Deliberately making choices for less commercialism and more artistry, but nevertheless ending up with a very nice album….
Certainly recommended..” – www.jazzandsoul.eu

“Produced by Joe Tatton, whose work with the Haggis Horns, New Mastersounds and Corinne Bailey Rae has proved his credentials for handling Rodina's debut with a touch of class, 'Over The Sun' is nothing less than an assured debut and with a cast of excellent musicians onboard, Rodina are very definite contenders for the Summer festival stages ……Roll on Summer” – www.folksandroots.co.uk
