Belgian chanteuse de Biasio is one of the emerging artists to feature in this week's 12 Points festival in the Project, and she sounds like a beguiling cross between Billie Holiday and Astrid Gilberto, combining the arch sensuality of the former with the innocence and precision of the latter. Unusually, the group features two keyboard players, both called Pascal, which must get confusing in rehearsals, but there is nothing confused about the sound of the group.

Despite the name on the front cover, this is not a singer with a backing band, but a group with their own original sound.
