Josephine
Portrait
Josephine's debut album, 'portrait' is released through ark recordings. manchester's soulful chanteuse, josephine, has created a self-reflective debut album which illustrates the many different sides of a fascinating character. vocally, her prowess recalls 'the queen of gospel', mahalia jackson's distinctive contralto, yet behind the powerful delivery is a husky undercurrent making every replaying seem like a personal performance. this compelling delivery commands attention completely, on a record replete with a vibrant array of musical genres. whether accompanied by ed harcourt on stripped-back piano melody house of mirrors, or playing a fast-paced bossa-nova infused jaunt via 'pepper shaker', she's equally awe-inspiring.
