Uwade

With a voice that first captivated audiences as the opening of Fleet Foxes’ Grammy-nominated Shore, singer-songwriter Uwade has quietly become a luminous presence in contemporary music. After touring with indie and R&B favorites like The Strokes, Jamila Woods, and Sylvan Esso, she now steps confidently into the spotlight with her debut album, Florilegium. Drawing on her Nigerian heritage, classical studies, choral roots, and a wide range of musical influences—from Fela Kuti to Yebba—Uwade’s music is rich with emotional depth and intellectual curiosity. Florilegium is a shimmering, genre-spanning collection that explores love, loss, friendship, and self-discovery with clarity and grace. In this special performance, Uwade will perform selections from Florilegium, bringing the album’s warmth and introspection to life.
