Single Review: Florence Rawlings – A Fool In Love (Dramatico Records)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 31 August 2009
Though on the same label as Katie Melua, Florence Rawlings has more in common with the watered down blues of Joss Stone or Nell Bryden than the fey strums of her labelmate. And it’s not as hugely awful as the more discernable music lover may think – Rawlings certainly has the voice to grab a fair share of the Radio 2 audience’s attention. There’s no originality though, and it’s a kind of jazz that boils down to ‘credit crunch dinner party’ – all prawns from Iceland and booze from Lidl. So, nothing like the sort of Little Richard and Gladys Knight her hopeful PR compares her too, but harmless enough to stem the urge to rip your ears off. As middle of the road as a dead hedgehog. TM
