Singer Celeste deepens my love for jazz-filtered soul music with her newly released album Compilation 1.1 – a gracefully sweeping opus that couples the young English singer’s tender and raspy timbre with entrancing jazz & soul backdrops. The energy on the set is always trance-inducing – be it a quiet murmur hinting at a deep heartbreak or a string-laden swell of confidence. Standout moments include the bittersweet album opener “Strange” (which gets a video workup from the directing duo Silent Tapes); the mesmeric down-tempo numbers “Lately“ and “Father’s Son“; some tumbling symphonic soul brilliance called “Coco Blood“; or the mellow nocturne called ‘Both Sides of the Moon“. A must-buy album for fans of Amy Winehouse, Corinne Bailey Rae or the late great Billie Holiday. You can listen to (and buy) the album via the links listed below as well as catch up on the latest music and news from Celeste by making sure that you’re connected to her via the social links listed below.
