You can listen to ‘Sand on Sand,’ above, the opening track of Fini Bearman’s new album Burn the Boat to be released on 28 October by Two Rivers Records. You might remember singer Bearman for her inventive take on Porgy and Bess a couple of years ago.

A collection of songs the singer has written over the past few years that she describes the album on her Bandcamp page “which interweave influences of jazz, folk and contemporary music. The album is based on themes of summoning courage and making a leap of faith, and it maps a musical journey from the loved to the lost; from moments of sheer joy to those of reflection and musing on life’s fundamental questions.” She is joined by Matt Robinson, piano, Rhodes, synths; Nick Costley-White, guitar; Conor Chaplin, bass; and Dave Hamblett, drums.

Burn the Boat is launched at east London venue Brilliant Corners on 25 October
