Having released her debut solo album Don’t Sleep (Artrocker Magazine Album of the Month) in October 2012, London-based Rebekah Delgado has gathered plaudits on radio (BBC Radio 2, 6 Music, Amazing Radio and more in the UK, US and across Europe) and online (The 405, GIITV, AltSounds, The VPME to name a few).
When playing live Rebekah is often accompanied by a variety of other musicians, including musical saw, violin, trumpet, harmonium, cello and drums – in addition to the audience-participating ‘Drunk Choir’. Influenced by her Spanish roots and Arabic leanings as well as artists such as Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Patti Smith, Serge Gainsbourg, Pulp, Jacques Brel, Johnny Cash and Sonic Youth, Rebekah’s musical maelstrom veers from the melancholic and contrite, to the uplifting and spirited, to risqué pop.
“Don’t Sleep always hits the spot. A stunning debut” – Artrocker Magazine

“Delgado’s contemplative songs and smoky vocals will undoubtedly stay with you for quite some time. Quite an album, indeed.” – The 405
“Delgado has produced something enjoyable and even quite touching” – AltSounds
“Sturm und drang, deeply sinister, hugely captivating” – The Girls Are
“Powerful, evocative, and kinda creepy – this music is not for the faint hearted” – Drunken Werewolf
“Whatever labels you wish to apply, the only genuinely important one is that it’s damn fine music” – The VPME
“Hints of Regina Spektor” – Time Out
