New Eve is the breakthrough debut album from voice and bass duo Sylvie + Ursula. Bass player and winner of the BBC Young Jazz Musician 2024 Ursula Harrison and rising London-based vocalist and composer Sylvie Noble first met while studying on the vibrant South-Wales jazz scene, bonding over a shared love of both jazz and folk music. Their debut duo album New Eve, releasing in spring 2026, represents the duo’s desire to push the boundaries of genre. Their unconventional lineup and stripped down, acoustic approach leaves nowhere to hide sonically, exposing the vulnerability of their compositions. With a title reminiscent of a blossoming feminine rebirth and the beginning of a new age, New Eve explores an array of human experiences. The combination of lyric and dynamic vocal improvisation brings to the surface latent emotions that often lie untouched, and Ursula’s explorations on bass dart between daring virtuosity and hypnotic stillness. Sylvie + Ursula constantly search for pockets of space for brazen humour and joyful absurdity within the context of honest storytelling.
