Robin McKelle - The Looking Glass

Robin McKelle has consistently proved to her ever-expanding fan base that she is 100% steeped in soul. Not to mention jazz, blues and the other ingredients that make her work on record and on stage so thrillingly authentic. Now, ten years after she first emerged, the songwriter and vocal stylist from Rochester, New York, is set to make 2016 her year, with her most exciting album to date.McKelle's sophisticated new release 'The Looking Glass' is a stunning m�lange of all the styles she has already espoused, and a refreshingly accessible yet urbane soul-pop sound that will win the hearts of newcomers and old friends.The album not only features her best songwriting to date, but an A-list of musicians with resum�s to die for, plus the production of Steve Greenwell, whose credits include work with Diane Birch, Joss Stone and the acclaimed current release by long established singer-songwriter Steve Forbert.'The Looking Glass' is McKelle's first album composed entirely of original songs. After two albums oriented more toward old-school Memphis soul and Motown, I wanted to work with Steve to search for a new sound, she says. This new album is a shift toward music that allows me to use all the texture of my voice in a more intimate register.
