Something New

Every so often you come across someone new in the music business and I was just listening to the radio while I was cooking and I came across Rachel Colins. A new artist from London inspired by Kate Bush and Laura Marling she has been compared by some to Eliza Doolittle and Regina Spektor,. Recently she had oar play on BBC 6Music, LBC and Amazing Radio. So you have a chance to listen to her original music play the video below that was recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival.


Recently she has released a four track EP "Things To Do", featuring four of her own works backed by a band that includes a brass section, backing vocals and percussion. Currently she is working on her debut album, while continuing to promote and perform tracks from her EP.  Time will see if she is a star of the future but she has made a good start and the list of radio stations her work appears on is increasing week by week. One thing is for sure she will be bound to pick up a core following if her new album lives up to the EP. You can listen to more of her music at her website (http://www.rachelcollins.co.uk).
