After announcing their formation last year, the X Collective artists Chloë Agnew, Zapho, Senita, Toshín and Gemma Bradley have combined for a single under the collective umbrella, and news of a debut album later in 2021.
‘WB’ is a rousing full-band soul song featuring 10 performers and as they say themselves:
“This song has been a long time coming, we knew it was special and so we had originally intended to pitch it to a well-known girl band, instead we came up with the idea to make our own band within the collective itself. We weren’t short of some outrageously talented vocalists! Seeing the song grow from a small home-produced demo to a ten person musical collaboration was magical, and making the music video to match our vision was key to capture a sense of the women behind the music.”
The X Collective
The song came about when X Collective co-founder Ele Breslin aka Zapho and Chloë Agnew (Celtic Woman) met at a songwiting camp two years ago.
They then enlisted Tosin Bankole Toshín), Gemma Bradley and Senita Sppiakorang (formerly of Shookrah) for the song.
