Wellington singer becomes label-mate to Norah Jones.
On the eve of the release of her much anticipated debut solo album “Long Player” on EMI, Wellington’s soulful Hollie Smith signs to the prestigious Manhattan Records label in New York, a boutique pop label within the legendary Blue Note group, home to Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Thelonious Monk, Cassandra Wilson and Norah Jones.
“You can hear that voice and you can hear the songs and you know right
away- this is somebody very special.”
Some people write lists of them. Others program their mobile phones. Hollie Smith has recorded an album of reminders.
Possibly best known for her own soulful 2005 EP and for her emotionally resonant vocals on the Don McGlashan penned 2006 chart dominating single from the acclaimed feature film No. 2, ‘Bathe In The River’, the talented local musician is now ready to release her solo album, Long Player.
Your music is a sea of truth.... that has an underbelly of light... continuously carving through the stone of life to reveal the inner spirit of beauty. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the Add, Hollie. I bought your first cd.."From a Distant Shore", years ago at a used cd store. It is, without doubt, my favorite cd I own (and we own hundreds). I find it so soothing when I work in my gardens. Thank You for bringing myself,and others...comfort and serenity with your beautiful music. You have grown up alot since that cd. I was happy to find your "Myspace" so I can keep up with your latest music. God Speed! Patie...from Rhode Island, USA
