Biography
British singer/songwriter Beatie Wolfe has built a reputation for deploying innovative strategies when promoting her recordings. Her initial EP, Burst, appeared in 2010 and arrived in the form of a mobile application, an approach that quickly drew attention. The same forward-looking method shaped her well-received debut album, 8ight, which reached audiences in 2013 through an interactive 3-D app compatible with the Palm Top Theater device or the iPhone’s visualization tools. Although Wolfe’s music remains rooted in organic folk-rock, drawing on the brooding poeticism of Leonard Cohen while sometimes drifting toward Americana, her embrace of cutting-edge technology stands in marked contrast to that sound. Expanding across multiple formats, she also issued the lyric collection Words of 8ight through London’s celebrated antiquarian bookseller Maggs Bros Ltd. In 2015 she issued the charity single “Kids Wish for the World,” with proceeds directed to the NSPCC’s ChildLine and War Child. Her follow-up album, Montagu Square, surfaced at the end of that year and was issued simultaneously on various digital platforms and in two physical editions: a deck of NFC cards and a multimedia jacket crafted by British rock tailor Mr. Fish. Both the conception and recording of the album took place at Montagu Square in Marylebone, the historic residence once occupied by Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, and other notable rock figures.
