Wow! What a debut album from this singer/songwriter whose soulful voice has something of the Billie Holidays about it.
And she can turn her hand to a tune too, with these compositions ranging from smoky-jazz to pop and the two covers here (Eric Bibb’s “Don’t Ever Let Nobody Drag Your Spirit Down” and Hoagy Carmichael’s “I Get Along Without You Very Well”) are spine-tingling.
Has she been on Later with Jools Holland yet? If not, expect to see her there very soon.
