'Signals' is a collection of new songs by Sue Rynhart. Drawing on Classical and Jazz traditions, Sue places her precise, delicate voice in the starkest, most revealing of settings. Her songs are both soulful and severe, a fine fusion of the avant-garde and the emotive.

"Sue Rynhart’s poetic creativity seemingly knows no bounds, blending her cultural roots with an oblique, contemporary vision. An absolute joy to be present." - London Jazz News
