Soulful singer-songwriter Shae Universe has announced the details of her debut headline tour for October 2024, where she'll perform four very special dates in Manchester, Birmingham, London and Amsterdam.
Since bursting onto the scene in 2017, Shae Universe has made waves in the UK, West Africa and beyond making music that engages, enchants and inspires. Her mother a gospel singer and her father a pastor, Shaeì weaves her spirituality, faith and sensuality through her work. Shaeì is an artist who can both sing and rap, has been co-signed by the likes of Lalah Hathaway, Jorja Smith and Little Simz and has remained entirely independent - navigating the industry on her own terms.
Following on from Shae's debut EP 'Unorthodox', released in 2022. Laid over 7 tracks, the unique R&Drill-fusion project was the first of its kind, blending 808 slides and spartan drum patterns with Shaeì's silky vocals and emotive lyricism. The project featured much-loved singles '111', 'You Lose' with the mighty 'Royalty' ft. Kojey Radical and 'Sit Back' featuring rapper-of-the-moment ENNY.
Now in her new era following performances at SXSW in Austin, Glastonbury Festival, Roskilde Festival in Copenhagen, De Roma Festival in Antwerp and a lead feature on Phabo's latest album 'Don't Get Too Cozy', Shaeì has truly taken her music global, and this year released her critically acclaimed new album 'Love's Letter.'
Steeped in R&B nostalgia, this timeless 10-track project explores what it would mean for love to send you a letter for every phase of life. Collaborating with producers from both sides of the Atlantic, it combines Shae's once-in-a-lifetime raw vocal talent with sultry guitar melodies, old-school-flows and modern gritty bounces.
One of the most exciting singers on the scene at the moment, Shae has just recorded her new Tiny Desk performance which is due out on 6th August and is now gearing up for her debut headline tour this October.
Tickets for the new dates go on sale Friday 2nd August at 10am and will be available from gigsandtours / ticketmaster
