Hot New UK Vocal Talent, Juliet Kelly, Releases Debut Album
Cool, sophisticated singer and songwriter with a fresh approach to jazz releases debut album "Aphrodite's Child" on 33 Records.
This eagerly awaited debut album from London-born jazz singer and songwriter, Juliet Kelly, showcases her original songs with their beautiful, haunting vocals over laid-back grooves. She is an artist with universal appeal that goes far beyond the usual jazz audience.
The album entitled "Aphrodite's Child" (33 Records)features her own highly accessible compositions which range from toe-tapping grooves to breathtakingly beautiful ballads, and also includes an interpretation of Sade's "Your Love Is King" - Sade being one of Juliet's early influences.
Her subtle, but sure, phrasing and spellbinding delivery are complemented by brilliant support from the hottest young jazz musicians on the scene - Mike Gorman on piano (Jim Mullen, Us3, Incognito), Tom Barlow on acoustic bass, Seb Rochford on drums and special guest Tony Kofi on sax (Courtney Pine, Brandford Marsalis, Andrew Hill, Jazz Jamaica).
Juliet started writing her own songs because as much as she loves the classic standards she wants to share her own fresh perspective on the beauty, freedom and expression of jazz-influenced music - music that can appeal to a younger audience as well as to more mainstream jazz fans.
The result is an album that is a captivating blend of the lyrical style of jazz standards with a contemporary feel that she describes as "Acoustic Groove".
