Quiet Revolutions is Namvula's second album, released to critical acclaim in 2017. A concept album, it delves into femalehood, tracing an arc from ancestry, through childhood, into adulthood and death. The Zambian-Scottish songstress effortlessly brings together musical influences from African traditions with landscapes that range freely from jazz to Brit-folk, to create a soundscape that has led to her being hailed "a true original" by the Guardian, and a "star undoubtedly on the rise" by MOJO.
