Once you’ve heard and seen London-based songstress Sister Cookie<\/a> sing, you can’t help but be impressed. Apparently she has it all – the voice, the skills, the tunes, the sound, the looks – but between the lines you feel pain and suffering. For her full-length debut album In The Blue Corner<\/em><\/a>, the Lagos-born composer and self-taught pianist wrote 11 honest and raw songs in which rock ‘n’ roll and jazz influences merge into funky soul music like milk and sugar in hot coffee. Sister Cookie’s distinctive, powerful and gritty vocals steal the show here, but the vintage foundation that the experienced band lays down is very solid. Credits also to Alex McGowan’s production, because there is nothing to fault on this record. This is rhythm and blues as it should be, making 2022 a whole lot more swinging.<\/p>\n
