“The True Loves are simply one of the best bands in Seattle. They’ve been able to capture their incredible talent as a live band and release it on this new record (‘Famous Last Words’). It’s the soundtrack to that car chase you’ve always wanted to be in...” - John Richards, KEXP Associate Program Director & Morning Show Host/Producer
Listening to the abundant sounds of the Seattle-based funk & soul group, True Loves, is like walking down a favorite neighborhood street, slapping five with friends, checking up with clerks in their stores, and admiring your sun-glassed face in their windows. The band is its own block party.
With a catalogue that includes their critically acclaimed debut Famous Last Words (2017), the soulful Sunday Afternoon (2021), and their latest release Good Weed and Red Wine(2024), True Loves continues to push the boundaries of instrumental funk. Hot off the heels of their second European tour, the band recently dropped their new single “Dopus No. 1” in January 2025, with a special Valentine’s Day vinyl release.

LYDIA REECE
Since embarking on her solo project in November 2023 after five years of songwriting, Lydia Reece is fast becoming a name in the Liverpool Nu-soul / R&B scene. Featuring in the Liverpool International Jazz Festival 2024, earning multiple plays on BBC Introducing Northwest, and playing at many of Liverpool’s most prestigious music venues – Liverpool Philharmonic Music Room, District and her debut appearance and sellout show at The Tung Auditorium – Lydia Reece continues to establish herself as a dedicated and drive female artist in the Liverpool music scene.
Cultivating a passionate, free-flowing and evocative tone alongside a powerful stage presence, Reece’s reputation as an exceptional live artist continues to flourish. Renowned for her memorable lyrics, broader themes of self-reflection, acceptance, honesty and soul colour on debut album ‘Looking Glass (Live)’.
Reece’s work spans the worlds of Nu-soul, R&B and jazz-funk, all of which manifest in her luscious blend of harmonies, melisma and jazz cadence. Directly influenced by musicians and writers such as Lauryn Hill, RAYE, Hiatus Kaiyote and Yebba, she draws inspiration from the intricacies of human emotion and personal experience, channelling maximalism and theatrical elements into her writing style.
