citing influences as diverse as etta james, jill scott, bjork, dusty springfield, billy bragg, billie holiday, jeff buckley, the cure & peggy lee, this girl is tipped for big… no, huge things.
blues tinged & melancholic, she’s like a kind of clean cut amy winehouse with lyrics inspired by relationships & sung with the kind of heart felt meaning & vocal gymnastics that not only get the message across but will thaw even the coldest heart. “totally, absolutely beautiful” - nme, “the voice of 2008” – q, “a star is born” – sunday times.
