Eve Goodman & SERA announce beautiful new collaboration - 'Blodyn Gwyllt' (Wild Flower) out now
Blodyn Gwyllt (Wildflower) Blodyn Gwyllt (‘Wildflower’ in English) is the first in a run of singles by singer-songwriters Eve Goodman and SERA from their upcoming collaborative album, Natur, due for release in the Autumn of 2025. Blodyn Gwyllt is about being true to your nature and living freely. It is also a celebration of both our natural environment and women (two themes that run alonsgide each other throughout the album).
The duo share this ‘West Coast’ folk-rock inspired track just in time for the summer. Alongside their harmonious vocals and guitars, the track features pedal steel (Gwyndaf Williams) and bass guitar from co-producer Colin Bass (member of Camel and also producer of the Tincian album from 9 Bach which won ‘Best Album’ at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award in 2015).
The song was recorded at Wild End Studio near Llanrwst, North Wales. Eve Goodman and SERA began working together after they were selected as BBC Horizons Artists in 2019. Both folk singer-songwriters, with rising solo careers and both had grown up in Caernarfon. Being part of Horizons brought them together and after just one writing session they found common ground in their connection and curiosity for nature. Surrounded by the beautiful North Wales landscape that is such an important part of their lives and Inspired by the Lost Words - Spells Songs project, they began to explore the Welsh names for birds and trees, flowers and fish.
The song tendrils soon grew to touch upon the cyclical element of both nature and women, and soon enough a body of work was growing, each song a hymn of love to both. 2020 started off as an exciting year for the pair, performing on Heno, then live at BBC Maida Vale Studios, and released two popular tracks (Gaeafgwsg and Rhwng y Coed) which were playlisted on BBC Radio Cymru.
Of course, Covid lockdown hit, and the project paused for a few years. Thanks to a Ty Cerdd Lottery grant and then the Horizons launchpad fund, the two were able to make time to write the remaining tracks for their album, they took part in Can i Gymru 2023 with Tangnefedd, then went into the studio.
