On 7 April 2023, Brandee released her new album “Brand New Life” on Impulse! Records, featuring singles like “You’re A Girl For One Man Only” and “If It’s Magic”. In the same year, Brandee also performed for NPR Music on the occasion of Black Music Month. During her Tiny Desk performance, Younger presented some of her latest additions to the canon of jazz harp. She performed “Brand New Life” and “Moving Target”, along with singer Tatiana “LadyMay” Mayfield, whose ethereal voice perfectly matches the transcendental tones of the harp.

Brandee Younger is a Grammy-nominated harpist who caused a stir as she became the first black female solo artist to be nominated in the Best Instrumental Composition category for her song “Beautiful Is Black” at the 2022 ceremony. Working with artists like Beyoncé, John Legend, Lauryn Hill and more, she demonstrates her ability to seamlessly integrate the harp into arrangements and venues where it has previously been overlooked. Younger’s performances are a testament to her deep love for and exemplary mastery of the instrument. She will preform in our Kleine Zaal on 21 April!
