Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series. In this episode, we connect with acclaimed London-based singer, songwriter, and professor Fini Bearman to explore her brand-new 2025 album, Last Night of the World. This marks her fifth studio album—and arguably her most refined and expressive work yet. It’s a powerful culmination of her evolving artistry, musical depth, and seasoned performance experience.

Backed by an elite ensemble of musicians from the forefront of the UK jazz scene, Fini delivers a project that’s rich in emotion, sonic texture, and lyrical brilliance. Beyond her recording success, she continues to shape the next generation of talent as a Professor of Jazz Voice and Songwriting at London’s prestigious Guildhall School. She also serves as a committee member of the Ivor Novello Awards, further influencing the future of songwriting and composition.

Tune in for a deep dive into Fini’s creative journey, her thoughts on teaching, and the heart behind Last Night of the World.
