Bryony Jarman-Pinto is an artist that I've stumbled across in an online search for another artist.
In this case, I was tracking remixes by Colleen Murphy aka Cosmodelica, someone else I've discovered belatedly and have been attempting to catch up with since. My search led me to the Cosmodelica remix of Bryony's song Moving Forward, released as a single in July.
It's a wonderfully uplifting song, uniting Bryony's jazzy vocals with Colleen's Studio 54-inspired disco dynamics. Better still, it comes in three versions: an eight and a half minute vocal, a radio edit and a full length instrumental.
More recently, Bryony marked Hallowe'en with Willow (Birch Community Mix), a reworking of another song from her second album, Below Dawn. This remix sees Bryony reunited with childhood friend Tom Leah aka Werkha, who produced her debut album and currently performs in her live band.
Swiss Adam may be particularly interested to note that the remix is named after Birch Community Centre in Manchester, which Werkha lived next to growing up, going there for after-school club jam sandwiches. Again, this tribute comes in full vocal, clean edit and instrumental variations.
I've cherry picked a few other top drawer remixes from Bryony's catalogue, including Dego aka Dennis McFarlane (4Hero), Wu-Lu aka Miles Romans Hopcraft and Wonky Logic aka Dwayne Kilvington, plus an older collaboration with Werkha from 2015.
Sour Face (dego Remix) (2020)
Sweet Sweet (Wu-Lu Remix) (2019)
Dusk (Single Version): Werkha ft. Bryony Jarman-Pinto (2015)
All About Life (Wonky Logic Remix) (2019)
The post is topped and tailed with 2019 single Saffron Yellow, which also provides today's title lyric. As well as a remix by Jesse Fischer, Saffron Yellow follows the singles format trend of additionally offering up a radio edit or a capella and an instrumental.
Smooth and groovy? Yes, please!
Good find!
