OK Peeps, this is a gift for you! I want to introduce Elsie, a really exciting new UK female singer.
She is going places…fast.
I will admit that I am enjoying X Factor, particularly for Gary Barlow’s overworked eyebrow and Louis Walsh’s lapses in composure and pitch. The acts aren’t all that bad either.
But I prefer my music a little more organic, a little more original and a lot more unique.
Labelled ‘One to watch’ by The Sunday Times, the debut album by this talented singer / songwriter is out early next year, produced by Jim Lowe, the man behind the Stereophonics’ sound.
What makes Elsie special? It’s a combination of an astounding vocal, hard work, and downright sassiness. She has attitude, yes, but it’s a good attitude. One that reflects that of the modern woman – feisty, confident and fun.
“I wanted to talk about what it’s like being a girl or young woman in the world today,” she says.
Elsie’s distinctive voice has been inspired by Blondie, maybe with a sprinkle of Sam Brown huskiness. Her disco rock sound is so right for now, and her band are as tight as it gets.
So your gift is a link to a free download of Elsie’s cover of the Streophonics ‘Dakota’ (click the link). You will agree with all the above once you have heard this, it’s a beauty.
Here’s Elsie’s cover of Let’s Stay Together….it is also rather good!
Her debut single will be released in January and there are two gigs in London before the end of the year at The 100 Club (Nov 11) and This Feeling (Dec 10).
If 2011 was Adele’s year, 2012 will surely be the year for this extra special new UK female singer, Elsie.
