Nedelle - From The Lion's Mouth

Fakten If smooth melodies, bossa nova-influenced chord structures and gorgeous layers of vocal harmony aren't what you expect from KRS, From the Lion's Mouth, the second solo effort from Nedelle and her first for Kill Rock Stars, may take you by surprise. Opening with a simple, plucked guitar line and delicately placed strings, the understated, seductively sunny sound is like crayons coloring the lines of a perfectly drawn coloring book. But it is her voice that you connect with immediately; Nedelle's singing has the intimate quality of Dusty Springfield or Karen Carpenter. Recorded by Andy Hong at Kimchee Records, From the Lion's Mouth is a compassionate coo that cuddles your ear like a warm whisper. The inflections of Nedelle's singing balance efficacy with a cool restraint; it's elegant and tasteful, sounding classic without coming off as anachronistic.
