Truth-telling indie vocalist heads to Cincinnati
A singer/songwriter who tackles tough subjects head on is coming to Cincinnati.
The American-Brazilian artist Indigo De Sousa is a native of Asheville, North Carolina, where she began her career at age nine, with her mother’s encouragement. She released “Boys,” her initial EP, in 2016, and followed that with another EP “Don’t Cry Just Do” a year later. Both EPs were self-released, as was her debut album, “I Love My Mom.” Saddle Creek Records noticed the album and released it properly in 2018. The album began to bring notice to De Souza.
Her second album, “Any Shape You Take,” defines her style and her stance as an artist. Critics noted her skill in using different musical genres, as well as the emotion she injected into her singing. Her mother, an artist herself, painted the album cover, an apocalyptic vision of a supermarket covered in overgrown greenery. The song “Real Pain” features actual screams during the chorus. De Souza says that shared pain is one of the strongest ways in which people connect.
Her uncompromising position reflects her musing about death, a theme that appears frequently. Her 2023 album “All This Will End” illustrates the artist’s determination to accept mortality by celebrating life’s small moments. The title refers to the end of life, but also to her decision to leave a toxic relationship.
De Souza will be at the Woodward Theatre on July 11. Events like this frequently benefit when organizers use poster printing to create advertising for them.
