‘Double Pink’ is the debut album by And Is Phi (Andrea Isabelle Phillips), a multidisciplinary artist from Norway and the Philippines now based in South East London. ‘Double Pink’ is a nuanced world that draws on colours and texture; with influences of Joni Mitchell and Frank Zappa, 90’s R&B and Madlib’s ‘Shades Of Blue’ blending languidly to produce a base for uncovering layers of self, a deep release, and fragile new form.
“Wonderfully wayward and woozy melodies, sung in a haunted whisper, largely drumless and arrhythmic, but sometimes overlaid with Madlib-style wonky R&B beats. Someone to keep an eye on” Guardian
“A surefooted and heartfelt debut” Dazed
“A lush presentation of flourishing nu-soul inspiration” Backseat Mafia
“A sonic painting, with each track crafting a vivid, emotional landscape” Twisted Soul
“Hypnotic and textured” The Most Radicalist
“One of the better debut albums of 2023” Echoes & Dust
“Melodically perfect and instantly infectious” Twisted Soul
