Music Break: Laura Mvula

December 11, 2013 — Leave a comment

Laura Mvula is brand new on the music scene this year and as we draw to a close on 2013 she stands out as one of the best.  When she sings there seems to be something that could only be interpreted as pure joy emanating from this young woman.

From way down under comes something we have not heard in quite a while.  In Rock Music the last time anything this good (and female) came along was a girl name Chrissie Hynde and the year was 1979. There are high hopes for Ms. Barnett

A very young D’Angelo singing a Bill Withers tune… (with Eric Clapton, Dean Brown, Marcus Miller, David Sanborn, & Steve Gadd…)  A cooler super group you will be hard pressed to find.

With 19 Albums under his belt Josh Rouse might still be one of the best kept secrets in the music biz for most.  A nice melancholy musical start for the holiDAZe now upon us…

I had never heard of the young and gifted Sarah Jorosz until today but if the company she keeps is any indication she may be the new anointed one of folk/country royalty. The last woman to make this kind of exquisite music so young was Emmy Lou Harris. Take in her song Run Away, 1000 Things and Book of Right-On.
