Brilliant Liverpool band Baiana release a spine-tingling single in time for Halloween.
VOODOO MAN was released on October 1st and will be launched with a live show at Liverpool’s hip new music venue Melodic Distraction 28th October
The song is produced by internationally acclaimed musician and producer MARK ‘SNOWBOY’ COTGROVE, who also plays percussion on the track and follows the success of the band’s last single PARADISE, which received wide TV and radio play including Channel 4 TV, Jazz FM, BBC Wales (the famous Janice Long Sessions), BBC Merseyside, BBC Leeds, Talkradio and others.
Baiana singer LAURA DOYLE described the track as an “anti love song”.
“Voodoo Man is a warning to everyone out there not to fall for those bad-boy charmers, the sort who seem too good to be true and turn out to bring nothing but heart-ache and trouble,” Laura said.
“We’ve all been there, especially me, so this is really an anti-love-song, a reminder that sometimes charm is only skin deep and the most charming can be the biggest heart-breakers”
To add to the spooky atmosphere, VOODOO MAN features an instrument called the Ondomo, a very rare electronic musical instrument which features in sci-fi and horror soundtracks.
The single also features the talents of the Haggis Horns, leading figures on the UK funk scene who have played on tracks with stars such as AMY WINEHOUSE, ADELE and DURAN DURAN.
VOODOO MAN was co-written by Laura and the band’s bassist Jesse Eigen. The other members of the band are guitarist Micky Dunne and Vidar Norheim on vibes and drums.
“Born in Liverpool but blessed in Rio” Baiana takes Brazil’s music scene for their pop inspiration. Laura lived in Brazil for several years and has had an amazing life.
This is the band’s third single. An as-yet-untitled album is due for release in 2022.
