Those who like their Soul Retro sounding 70s it's your lucky day today. The Contemporary Soul Music scene is international and today's featured artist hails from the Netherlands. Dutch singer Brenda Bee released an album entitled Sweet Disguise (2013), (some sources say 2014) When I first heard this I thought it was a 70s cut that I'd not previously come across. It had all the hallmarks of that period including the sweet vocal delivery of female songstresses. I was delighted to learn that it was not genuine 70s. Brenda Bee is a blue-eyed Soul singer with just one album release. Not only does she have that amazingly soulful voice but the string sounds of the arrangement are just so typical 70s it's untrue.
If I was mean I would suggest to some of the Modern Room 70s specialist DJ's should cover it up and get it played. Unfortunately, with so many suffering from vinyl obsessed addiction that would not be possible as this is unavailable in that format as far as I'm aware.
Ok lets play...
Her album is only available in the UK (as far as I know as a download)
Just to prove how good this young lady is I'm leaving you today with a couple of bonus links, See Ms. Bee in action in a rehearsal/radio studio doing a cover of John Mayer's Gravity. Man is that awesome. Blows my mind because its pure, pure, pure Soul. Just brilliant, just amazing.
Here's more: Brenda Bee doing Mystified in a more contemporary vein...
Kickin' !!!
