Jazzmeia Horn Set to Dazzle London with Powerful New Album ‘Messages’
Jazzmeia Horn is heading back to the capital — and this time, she’s bringing her soul-stirring new album Messages to life on stage.
The award-winning American jazz vocalist and composer will perform at Soul Mama on 12th July, offering London audiences a rare opportunity to witness one of jazz’s most compelling voices in action.
The show supports her latest release, Messages, a project hailed by critics and fans alike. It’s a bold, thought-provoking record. A little raw. Very real. And deeply personal.
“Messages” dives into themes of love, sacrifice, and human connection. Horn blends these with a fresh, experimental approach — layering spoken-word recordings and voicemails across tracks to deliver literal “messages” within the music. The result? A soundscape that feels both timeless and very much of the moment.
“Sometimes, the difficulties encountered along the way are worth it,” Horn reflects. Her music explores those struggles, offering strength and vulnerability in equal measure.
And she has the accolades to back it up.
A past winner of both the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Competition and the Thelonious Monk Institute International Jazz Competition, Horn’s voice has captivated audiences worldwide. She’s also a NAACP Image Award recipient — a recognition of her power not just as a singer, but as a storyteller.
Her debut, A Social Call, released on Concord Records, received a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album. So did her follow-up, Love and Liberation. Then came Dear Love — a daring big band project that landed yet another GRAMMY® nomination, this time for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album.
Now, Messages steps away from the big band setup but keeps that same experimental spirit. Horn draws from jazz’s rich history, but she’s not afraid to reshape it. She plays with form, voice, and tradition — and the result is utterly electric.
Her performance in London promises a powerful evening. One that moves. One that stirs.
Tickets are already generating buzz. Rightly so. Because Jazzmeia Horn doesn’t just sing — she commands the stage. And with Messages, she’s offering more than music. She’s offering truth.
Don’t miss this. One night. One voice. One message worth hearing.
