The Paris-born, London-based singer, songwriter and harmonica player returns with her third offering, 'Life Is Beautiful'. Recorded straight to tape on analogue equipment and mixed in mono at Gizzard Recording Studios, the album exudes warmth and authenticity. 'Life is beautiful, baby. If you let it'. That's what Jimmy Scott, the legendary jazz singer, used to tell her. She wrote those words down and for years she kept them in her purse to remind herself. After he died in 2014 she wrote this song for him. 'Life is Beautiful', in fact, is her most jazz-focused album to date. But though many of these ten new songs sound like classics, seven of them are Joelle originals. ~ Editorial Reviews https://www.amazon.com/Life-Beautiful-If-You-Let/dp/B01GKJN6M8

Florence Joelle and her most worthy henchmen (Huck Whitney, Chris Campion, Arthur Lager) released their debut album, Florence Joelle’s Kiss Of Fire on Zoltan Records on July 10th. Their sound is an exciting smorgasbord of vintage rock ‘n’ roll, jazz and blues all sprinkled with a healthy swish of French style and Tarantinoesque panache. This triumphant debut manages to combine a wonderful blend of unique covers (‘When I Get Low I Get High’ and ‘Unchain My Heart’) with some startling original songs, which flow together seamlessly to make this an album to be taken very seriously. 

If you are in the UK keep an eye out for Florence playing live, and in the meantime here is a track from the album, When I Get Low I Get High’ to whet your appetite. http://www.thevinyldistrict.com/uk/2011/07/midweek-music-florence-joelles-kiss-of-fire/
