New Release: Karen Carroll's Blues Mix - Karen Carroll - review

I have just received a preview of the to be released recording by Karen Carroll called " Karen Carroll's Blues Mix". This recording is totally different from what I have heard in the past from Karen but I really like it. Karen has a very dark and mysterious voice and she uses it very productively. This recording ventures in many directions including Blues, Neo Soul,Hip Hop, Funk,Gospel, maybe even rap... good rap. The recording is primarily Karen's stunning voice with blended harmonies, acoustic guitar and harmonica, electric keys and drum. Ok, so you want to know what it may remind you of... a really great singer with the wonderful textural harmonies reminiscent of D'Angelo, Stevie Wonder on harmonica, Snoopy (Doggy Dog)dropping by for some gin and a very confident singer just out making great music. She worked with young American artist, Michael Booze of "Boozefam," in Europe to develop the new hip-hop tracks. I'm not a huge urban Hip Hop fan but it is tastefully done and the balance of the recording is so strong it effortlessly carries the weight that any old school Hip Hop music might lend. This is a very strong recording and I hope you grab a copy while you can!
