Biography
“Intense and thought provoking” (The List) “Heart stopping…our very own Tori Amos” (Sunday Herald) “An inspired empathy” * * * * * (Fringe Review) Fuelled by a passion for social justice, folklore, and feminism, Kim Edgar crafts keenly observed details of people’s lives into powerful, understated songs that reach out and touch listeners. Whether that’s the uncertainty of a person grappling with whether love truly conquers all, the bewildering feelings of invisibility of a child in a refugee camp, or the unfettered hopes of a mother for her unborn baby, Kim steps in the shoes of others, exploring contemporary social issues with an open heart. Her fourth solo album, Held, to be released 4th December 2020, considers grief, addiction, and solidarity. “[Kim Edgar] will charm you, upset you, give you hope and make you think…probably one of the best songwriters in Britain today.” * * * * * (Spiral Earth) “Kim’s music is difficult to categorise…her vocal delivery, however, was outstanding and her musicianship on both piano and guitar exemplary… gorgeous voice where every word came over as clear as crystal.” (Maverick) “Strong melodic hooks paired to bittersweet musings, shafts of optimism and some Angela Carter moments when the mirror cracks and the bitter stuff of fairytales seeps through.” * * * * (The Scotsman) www.kimedgar.com
