Motown brass and pianos dominate the smokey jazz club feel of 'Hard To Get' - the stunning new single from Dramatico Records' newest hopeful, Florence Rawlings.
And what a set of lungs this newcomer possesses - booming from the speaker, her rich and powerful vocals (up there with Winehouse, Duffy, Stone et al) are enough to stop even a herd of stampeding elephants fast in their tracks. But with electropop dominating the charts in 2009, Rawlings and her 60s soul revival could be a year too late for any major success.
However, if you take traditional and strong songwriting with warm, honey-coated vocals, over gimmicky outfits and 80s synth-pop, she's an artist you'll be wanting to keep your eye on.
