Description
Rise From The Flames is the sophomore solo album from red-hot singer/songwriter/bassist Heather Newman. After her debut album (2017’s Burn Me Alive) received rave reviews, Newman’s reputation as a powerhouse player spread quickly. Showing the same knack here for tasty variation in feel, track-by-track, that Newman and her band demonstrated on Burn Me Alive, her sassy, spitfire vocals are back as well and are a delight throughout.
This set of 13 originals tells Heather’s personal story of coming to terms with the end of a relationship and all that went with it, as well as realisations of her own self worth. Her mastery at blending blues, rock, and soul is clear – the tracks go from slow burners to swampy numbers, to quality 12-bar takes, tinges of gospel, and upbeat funky syncopated numbers. This album gives an insight to the real life blues of this ragingly powerful up-and-coming musician – we recommend it highly!
