Product Description:
THE LUCINDA BELLE ORCHESTRA My Voice & 45 Strings (2010 UK 12-track CD album - The Lucinda Belle Orchestra is the sum of one harp a harmonium the melodica some strings horns an upright bass drums the ukulele a clarinet guitar...and one quite extraordinary songwriter and front-woman. Lucindas musical life began aged six when she was dragged kicking and screaming by her mother to classical recitals at the Royal Festival Hall. To everyones surprise Belle found herself falling for the harp in all its 45-string-glory. Lucindas debut album My Voice & 45 Strings was recorded in various locations including Nashville ? where Lucinda once studied jazz - Los Angeles London Stockholm and Paris; with co-writes from the likes of Graham Lyle [Whats Love Got To Do With It?] and Ed Harcourt. The title track kicks off proceedings with its infectious polka beat ragtime piano and self-affirming lyrics. Valentine meanwhile is a twinkling Parisian waltz all shimmering strings and shuffling acoustics recalling Nouvelle Vague at their most sultry. Throughout this often-mellow debut Lucindas songs are imbued with a soulfulness that never feels contrived. Ill Get By is the kind of melancholic piano-led lament that saw Norah Jones conquer the commercial world though Lucindas own satin-smooth vocals mask a lyrical ache owing more to a love of Billie Holiday ]These Broken Things]. Perhaps best of all is Northern Lights a delicate and emotional torch-song on which Lucinda is largely left alone with her 45 strings. It is here that she cements her status as an utterly bewitching new talent!)
