"We believe the future of soul, R&B, blues, and roots rock music isn’t about reinvention — it’s about re-centering truth, power, and artistry,” says Jordan Waring. “Alfreda! was the artist we’d been waiting for. She’s not just a stunning vocalist — she’s a statement of everything this label stands for: originality, elegance, and fire. This isn’t just a debut for us — it’s the first brick in the road we’re building for what’s next." “Alfreda Gerald is not just a singer — she’s a thunderstorm,” adds Sinead Waring, CEO and co-founder of Waring Records. “She doesn’t perform songs, she inhabits them. Her voice can tear the roof off, then turn around and whisper something that breaks your heart. There’s no one like her.”

"As a songwriter, I have imagined working with the level of talent that ALFREDA! brings to the material. Her voice is powerful, transformative and just magical. These songs weren’t written with her in mind — they were written specifically for her. It’s a composer’s dream come true."
- Jordan Waring


Written by Jordan Waring and produced by Chris Blackwell, Alfreda!’s debut album brings together a dream team of musicians — including live brass sections, gospel choirs, and string arrangements — to create a sound that is at once classic and totally fresh.
“Chris has elevated every track on this album,” Jordan adds. “He’s the rare kind of producer who listens for the soul of a song — and then builds the world around it.”

“We’re not just making records — we’re building experiences,” says Sinead Waring, CEO and co-founder of Waring Records. “People are craving music that moves them. That lifts them. That feels alive. Alfreda! delivers all of that and more.”

About the Album: Fate Will Have It
Described as Tina Turner meets Aretha Franklin meets Amy Winehouse — crossed with the unmistakable voice of Alfreda Gerald, Fate Will Have It is an explosive, emotionally rich statement of empowerment, heartbreak, and truth.

With this signing, Waring Records is staking its place as a new home for artists who are bold, soulful, and unforgettable.
