In Conversation: The Voices of Sessions on the Green

There are singers who perform, and there are singers who inhabit the music. Isaac B. Cole is firmly the latter. His voice doesn’t just glide over a melody — it settles deep into it, warm and commanding, like silk and smoke.

We sat down with Isaac in the Sessions on the Green collective studio — not to dig into his private life, but to understand his artistry, his influences, and the way he approaches music.

Isaac B. Cole: A Velvet Voice in a Modern World

SOTG: Isaac, your voice has been called “velvet” and “orchestral soul.” How do you see it yourself?

Isaac: “I’ve never thought about it as a label. For me, the voice is just an extension of the mood. I want it to feel like a conversation — but slowed down, stretched out, wrapped in strings and rhythm. Some people rush songs. I like to take my time. A voice can seduce, it can comfort, it can demand attention without ever raising its volume. That’s the space I like to work in.”

SOTG: People often mention Barry White when they talk about your style. Do you welcome that comparison?

Isaac: “Of course. Barry was the master of space and seduction. He knew silence was as powerful as sound. I’m not trying to imitate him — but I respect what he showed us: that depth and subtlety can be more powerful than fireworks.”

SOTG: What’s your process when recording with Sessions on the Green?

Isaac: “The team sets the scene — lush strings, a groove that’s unhurried but confident. The Producer, Peter Pickering has a way of creating space that lets me breathe vocally. I walk in and listen first. I don’t sing until I feel the room. When I do, I want every line to feel like I’m leaning in, speaking just to you. Not to the crowd, not to the charts. Just you.”

SOTG: You’ve become known for songs that balance intimacy with orchestration. What draws you to that sound?

Isaac: “It’s cinematic. Life isn’t always loud — sometimes it’s late nights, whispers, the sound of footsteps in the street outside. I want my music to feel like that. Lush, but not cluttered. Emotional, but never desperate. That’s why Sessions is a perfect home for me — the sound here is sophisticated, unafraid of stillness.”

SOTG: And what can listeners expect from you next?

Isaac: “More of the same… but deeper. Strings that ache, grooves that burn slow. I’m not interested in chasing trends. I want to make records people can return to ten years from now and still feel the warmth. If I’ve done that, then I’ve done my job.”

SOTG: Isaac, you’ve built quite a reputation as the “mystery man” of Sessions on the Green. Fans constantly ask: why don’t you tour, why aren’t there live shows or photos, and why don’t you appear in your videos?

Isaac: “I think the mystery belongs to the music itself. When you close your eyes and listen, it becomes personal — it’s your story, your feelings, not just mine. That’s why I stay in the shadows. It lets the songs shine brighter, lets them live in people’s hearts without distraction. One day, maybe I’ll step out more. But right now, I’m happy knowing the music is what people carry with them. That’s what matters.”

“A voice can seduce, it can comfort, it can demand attention without ever raising its volume.” — Isaac B. Cole

From England to the heart of Sessions on the Green, Scarlett Bentley carries stories of love, resilience, and hope — sung in more than one language, with a voice that can move the sky.

Scarlett Bentley isn’t just a singer — she’s a force. With her pure English diction and soaring delivery, her voice feels timeless, bridging past and present. When Scarlett sings, the room doesn’t just listen; it lifts. Within Sessions on the Green, she has become a voice of both passion and resilience, carrying songs that touch deeply on love and human hope. Her recent bilingual release, Beneath the Falling Sky, echoes her gift: blending cultures, bridging emotions, and offering music as a language without borders.

Scarlett Bentley: A Voice That Soars Beyond Borders

Sessions on the Green: Scarlett, your voice has been described as “soaring” — powerful yet emotional. How do you see your own sound?

Scarlett Bentley: I suppose I’ve always seen my voice as a kind of instrument in the sky. It’s not about showing off, it’s about carrying the story. If the lyrics are about heartbreak, I want people to feel that heartbreak in the air. If it’s about hope, I want it to rise like the dawn. That’s the responsibility of a singer — to bring the words to life.

Sessions: You recently sang Beneath the Falling Sky, a bilingual track with Ukrainian lyrics. How did that feel, stepping into another language?

Scarlett: It was humbling, truly. English is my first language, of course, but when I sang in Ukrainian, I felt I was borrowing a piece of someone else’s heart. I wanted to do it respectfully, to honour the beauty of the words and the people behind them. Music should never be limited by borders — it’s universal.

Sessions: You grew up in England. How has that shaped your artistry?

Scarlett: England gave me contrasts. I grew up hearing folk melodies, classical choirs, and at the same time Motown and soul drifting through the house. I think my Englishness is there in the clarity of my diction, but I’ve never wanted to stay in one box. That’s why Sessions on the Green feels like home — it’s not about boxes, it’s about voices coming together.

Sessions: Who are your influences?

Scarlett: Oh, so many! From Shirley Bassey for her sheer drama, to Adele for her honesty, and of course some of the great sopranos who can make a note hang in the air forever. But I also love smaller voices — the ones that sound fragile, broken even. They remind me that singing isn’t about perfection, it’s about connection.

Sessions: What do you hope people feel when they hear your music?

Scarlett: Hope. Always hope. Even in the darkest ballad, there should be a thread of light. If someone listens and feels less alone, then I’ve done my job.

Scarlett Bentley continues to be one of the most distinctive voices within Sessions on the Green, blending English clarity with global spirit. With her ability to cross languages and emotions, she reminds us that music is bigger than borders — it is a shared sky.

Like most of our talent, Parichad is not the kind of singer who looks for the spotlight. She doesn’t need it. Her voice has carried her through a lifetime of music — from singing in a girl band as a teenager, to running her own cabaret club, to now lending her sound to Sessions on the Green. She has lived the hard nights and early mornings, balanced toughness with compassion, and found a way to let it all flow into her music.

What defines her artistry isn’t glamour or theatrics — it’s honesty. There’s no pretending in her songs. Listeners hear it straight away: the warmth, the empathy, the lived experience in every note.

Parichad: The Quiet Strength Behind the Song

SOTG: Parichad, you’ve sung in so many different settings over the years. What do you carry with you from those early days?

Parichad: “When I was young, it was all about fun — pop music, singing with friends, that excitement. Later, when I had my own cabaret club, music became work, but also survival. I learned discipline. I learned to be strong. And I learned that if you keep showing up, night after night, your voice grows with you.”

SOTG: You’ve said you don’t seek attention, yet your music is now heard across the world through Sessions on the Green. How do you feel about that?

Parichad: “It feels good — but quietly good. I don’t want fame. I don’t want to be everywhere. But when people leave kind comments, when they say the songs touch them, it makes me smile. That’s enough. It tells me that the music has meaning.

SOTG: Listeners have noticed your voice has expanded — from delicate, whispery songs to more powerful performances. Was that a conscious choice?

Parichad: “At first, the songs were very soft, very intimate. And I like that style, because it’s close to the ear. But the more I sang with Sessions, the more we explored. Suddenly there were strings, orchestras, jazz pieces… and I realised my voice could go further. It was always there — I just hadn’t used it. Now I can be gentle, or strong, or soulful. I enjoy discovering new parts of my own voice.”

SOTG: People describe you as both strong and deeply empathetic. Do you feel that comes through when you sing?

Parichad: “I hope so. Strength has been necessary in my life, but kindness is more important. I care for people, I care for animals, I care for every small thing. When I sing, I don’t try to sound powerful — I just try to be truthful. And I think people can feel when a voice is honest.”

SOTG: What does being part of Sessions on the Green mean to you?

Parichad: “It means being part of a family. I don’t have to be in the front, I don’t have to shine the brightest — I just give my voice to the music, and that’s enough. Together we make something that will last. That’s what matters.”

“I don’t try to sound powerful — I just try to be truthful. And people can feel when a voice is honest.” — Parichad

With Sessions on the Green, Lucius has become the voice of the sax — soulful, emotional, unafraid to let the horn cry, whisper, or soar.

Lucius Bluenote Carter doesn’t just play the sax — he breathes through it, as if the instrument itself were alive. Every note seems to carry a story: of midnight city streets, of smoke curling through jazz clubs, of longing and release. His playing is at once tender and fierce, full of silences that say as much as the sound.

Lucius Bluenote Carter: Where the Saxophone Speaks

SOTG: Lucius, people often say your saxophone sounds like a human voice. Do you think of it that way?

Lucius: “Always. The sax, for me, is not metal and keys. It’s breath. It’s heart. I try to make it speak, laugh, even weep. If you close your eyes, I want you to forget it’s an instrument. I want you to feel like someone is talking to your soul.”

SOTG: Lucius, your name itself stands out. Why Bluenote? Why not just Lucius Carter?

Lucius: “Good question. Sessions wanted to make sure my music had its own identity — no copyright tangles, no confusion with other artists. But the truth is, ‘Bluenote’ was already part of me. It was my nickname long before — people said every phrase I played bent around that soulful blue note, that in-between sound that holds all the pain and beauty together. So when Sessions suggested we put it right in the name, I thought, yeah — that’s me. And it also makes it easier for people to find me online. It’s unique, it’s true, and it feels right.”

SOTG: Your music often feels deeply emotional — almost confessional. Where does that come from?

Lucius: “Life. We all carry joy and pain, triumph and regret. When I play, I let all of that out. I don’t hide it. If I’m grieving, you’ll hear the cry. If I’m in love, you’ll hear the sweetness. I don’t believe in playing ‘safe.’ Music should be vulnerable.”

SOTG: The Sessions audience has responded strongly to your tracks, especially the recent ones. How does it feel to know the sax can reach people that way?

Lucius: “It’s humbling. Sometimes I think people expect saxophone to be background, like wallpaper. But here, it’s centre stage. And to see listeners around the world say it moves them — that’s all I want. That’s the reason I play.”

SOTG: Do you ever feel overshadowed by the singers in Sessions on the Green, or do you see your role differently?

Lucius: “A singer has words. I don’t. But that’s the beauty — I fill the space between the words. The sax can say what language cannot. I don’t compete with the singers. I converse with them.”

SOTG: Finally, what drives you forward as an artist?

Lucius: “The search for that one note that tells the truth. Every performance, I’m looking for it. Sometimes I catch it, sometimes it slips away. But that search — that’s the journey. That’s why I’ll never stop playing.”
