Edei - In My Bed

Twenty one year old Edei released her debut single In My Bed on Monday of this week, having already tasted life on the road by supporting the likes of Will Young and JLS on their recent UK tours.

But better than that the young singer was chosen to support the UKs top girl band Girls Aloud on their 36 date Arena tour last year, a time she recalls as ‘the best two months of my life.’

Over the last two years Edei has been honing her own unique sound and performing skills under the watchful eye of the same team that developed Joss Stone and the results can be heard on the new single, an effortless blend of pop, funk and soul with a dance flavour.

Edei is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on her debut album, which is scheduled for release this autumn on new indie label Alma Recordings. The single and album are produced by Boston born, Dublin based producer Misreid and co written with Misreid and lauded singer songwriter Conner Reeves (whose writing credits include songs for Joss Stone, Ava Leigh, Tina Turner and Westlife).

Working with a female producer was something that appealed to Edei and she and Misreid got on like a house on fire from the off. Misreid helped to crystalise her unique sound and introduced her to other musicians who have collaborated on the album including Mary J Blige’s backing singers, and Alicia Keys’ brass section. Mixing credits on the album include Tom Elmhirst, among whose previous credits are Amy Winehouse’s classic ‘Back To Black’ and Adele’s ‘Chasing Pavements’.

Unsurprisingly the remix package of ‘In My Bed’ recently crashed straight into the Top 10 of the influential Upfront Club Chart, with remixes by Dave Aude, Almighty and Full Intention making it one of the hottest dance floor fillers around.
