Six years have passed since Volt quit the busking circuit of her native Brussels for the heady throb of New Orleans, where she made her frst ripples as the livewire frontwoman of local heroes Mama's Boys

That hook-up led to Volt's acclaimed debut album Let The Demons Out (declared "an irresistible force" by Classic Rock) and to Volt's next stepping stone, to the hill country of Coldwater, Mississippi, for sessions with the Southern state's Cody Dickinson, Watermelon Slim and Cedric Burnside on 2019's Mississippi Blend. That album saw Volt dubbed "a natural-born star" by Henry Yates (NME, Classic Rock, The Guardian) and broke into the Billboard Blues Chart Top 3 on three separate occasions.

With its addictive beat and ghostly alt- gospel vocals, title track Shout Sister Shout! demands to be heard. "It's a song encouraging women to speak loud for what they deserve," she says. "Fight back, stare back, scream back."

Ghalia Volt has done exactly that, returning from the wilderness with the album of her career and the songs that will ignite venues across the globe. "Right now," she says, "I'm ready to jump back into a band, play these new songs live and run all around the stage..."
