Happy – Rinaldi Sings – UK
Rinaldi Sings is the name assumed by singer/songwriter Steve Rinaldi, who was famously described by the NME as a “cocksure 20th Century Scott Walker”. He plays a stylish brand of pop that acknowledges a deep debt to the bubblegum northern soul of the late Sixties. The song Happy allows you to chew and dance at the same time. A lot of fun.
Sticking Around – Jarah Jane – Montreal Quebec
She has described her music as a mix of Holly McNarland and a spoonful of Sheryl Crow… but the guitar style adds just a tadd amount of Ani Difranco. Although from Montreal Jarah has a distinct Canadian flavor including the reference to the iconic 401 highway in Ontario as the name of her tour.
Celine Mastrorelli – Detestez Moi – Paris France.
Although Celine has an Italian surname her family is from Cannes. Detestez Moi has the classic French light and airy feel to it. It swings quickly from beat to beat, with Celine making her opinion clear from each verse. Try listening to this song without tapping your feet, I dare you.
The Cat Came Back (The Cats Perspective) – Marc Gunn
Marc Gunn is an Irish and Scottish folk singer with a strange affinity for Celtic ballads, drinking songs and cats, and he is the lead singer for the Brobdingnagian Bards. He is also Celtic music podcaster and Irish music magazine publisher and promoter. Last but not least, he is poet, photographer, and music business educator.
