Nedelle Torrisi - Advice from Paradise (2015)

Limited vinyl-only U.S. pressing. Nedelle Torrisi is a singer with a voice for the ages and a songwriter who would fit in at the Brill Building. Her 2015 album Advice from Paradise is the brainchild of Torrisi and producer Kenny Gilmore, guitarist/keyboardist/drummer/secret-musical-mastermind with Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. Gilmore plays most of the instruments on Advice, a labor of love more than two years in the making, cut between tours and other engagements. Let US be clear: this all-heart, no-gimmick album is truly excellent - somewhere between Carole King and Sade.
