Debra Fotheringham - Valley of Annihilation (2025) [Hi-Res]

Debra Fotheringham’s singular acoustic style incorporates the rhythmic sensibilities of jazz with smooth vocal precision. Her self-reflective lyrics resonate deeply, exhibiting a maturity that speaks to the human condition. From the wanderlust of “Across Oceans,” to the ineffable nature of language in “Eloquence,” and the percussive explosion of “Fire,” Debra explores a wide range of emotions through her poetry and music. Backed by standup bass and brushes—with highlights of djembe, vibes, fiddle, and keys—songs such as “Temporary,” “Build Me a Road,” and “Waiting,” lay bare the graceful artistry of her versatile voice and lyrical dexterity.
