GREENTEA PENG live show at Rock en Seine
Among her most enduring influences, Aria Wells – aka Greentea Peng – are some gold-plated names: Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Lily Allen and Ms. Dynamite – four modern soul icons. Here’s hoping her career proves as fruitful as those of her heroes. A green tea lover, as her stage name suggests, the 30-year-old London singer and songwriter has used her recently released second album, Tell Dem It’s Sunny, as the perfect opportunity for reinvention. Infused with touches of hip-hop, trip-hop, and guitar (one track features sonic wizard Wu-Lu), her sound grows richer, while her lyrics are more personal than ever. A stylish superstar with serious stage presence and skill to match.
