MUSIC FOR BETTY (vinyl)

Description

"A timeless and emotive vocal quality reminiscent of the great Nina Simone." (France Musique) The album title, "Music for Betty," which refers to the first track, Poor Blue Betty, is a tribute to the parts of ourselves that we too often conceal but cherish, as they are what most surely allow us to flourish. With Nana Rashid, a unique blend of genres emerges, offering a new approach to modern Scandinavian vocal jazz. The music here is a powerful cocktail combining the inherent melancholy of Nordic jazz traditions with neo-soul and blues inflections, featuring burning declamations à la Nina Simone. Music for Betty is music made to heal our wounds. It is both intense and soothing."The album features eight gems that showcase an artist with a very strong stage presence and astonishing storytelling talent" --- Radio France---.
