Eclipse 6
Humble and Kind
Our first single shot music video! We’d been wanting to do a song from the country music genre for a while but wanted to find the right song. Paul (who lives in Nashville) suggested/insisted we do Humble & Kind and we’re glad he did because it’s quickly become one of our favorites. In a world where violence, abuse, negativity, and selfishness seem to be increasing, this song delivers a message/reminder that is sorely needed. Enjoy!

Swingle Singers
15 Step
Our new video comes courtesy of one of our favourite British exports: Radiohead. The eerie beauty and complexity of their music makes it a challenge to arrange and a thrill to sing. This song appeared on Radiohead’s 2007 album In Rainbows — though you may also know it from the first Twilight film!
For our a cappella version of 15 Step we use live looping to build up a densely layered arrangement, taking inspiration from playground clapping songs, breakbeat and big band jazz along the way.

Swingle Singers
Nana (Manuel de Falla)
Nana is a lullaby from Manuel de Falla's 1914 collection Seven Spanish Folksongs (Siete canciones populares españolas). Joanna's arrangement, which also appears on our Weather To Fly album, brings a hypnotic trip-hop mood to the song.
Every sound you hear is made by our seven voices, including Jon's percussion loops. And enjoy the gorgeous solo from our newest Swingle, Imogen!
Women of the World
Joshua Fit The Battle of Jericho
"Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho" is a Negro Spiritual that recounts the biblical story of Joshua, and even as far back as the 1800s, gave a strong sense of hope to African-American slaves that their freedom would soon come. From researching its origins, learning the Moses Hogan version, having Débo Ray adapt it for Women of the World, to finally performing it on stage; this song has evolved into medicine music for us!
