Alela Diane’s gentle acoustic style has been described as campfire gospel as it is driven by trance-like arpeggios played on the guitar and her remarkable warm voice. She has been compared to fellow female solo artist Joanna Newsom, who helped and encouraged Alela to her first solo appearance. Her innocent, meditative lyrics about family and mostly nature saw her debut album, The Pirate's Gospel being voted best album of 2007 by the Rough Trade. Her second album, ‘To Be Still’ came out in February.
