“A Moment of Madness” is the debut studio album by British singer/songwriter and BBC Sound of 2016 candidate Izzy Bizu. Born to an Ethiopian mother and English father, she grew up listening to Ella Fitzgerald, Betty Swan, Betty Wright and James Brown and draws on these influences alongside newer influences, Amy Winehouse and Adele to create a fusion of soul, funk, jazz and pop that sounds classic and brand spanking new all at once. Features the singles “Adam & Eve”, “Give Me Love”, and “White Tiger”.Nominated for the 2016 Brits Critics’ Choice and BBC Sound Of polls, Isobel Beardshaw – as Bizu was before launching her career, aged 16, in the group SoundGirl – is angling for the jazz/soul space inhabited by Amy Winehouse and Lianne La Havas. She is both helped and hindered by her unflagging sunniness: whether a song calls for the hiccupy sweetness that is her vocal calling card, or clawing intensity, it’s always underscored by her innate optimism. This makes for a very agreeable summer cocktail – aptly, it was originally scheduled for a June release – but comes up short if you prefer breeziness to be sometimes clouded by messier emotions. No matter the subject – from her preferred male body type in the acid-jazzy Skinny to agonising relationship uncertainty on the 60s-funk Gorgeous – Bizu’s tone is permanently fizzy. That ebullience goes to an interesting place on White Tiger’s Regina Spektorish quirkiness; but elsewhere, when Bizu sings the line “There’s glass on the kitchen floor”, echoing a line from Winehouse’s You Know I’m No Good, it just affirms that she’s no Winehouse.
