PrintableWhat is the criteria for being called blue eyed soul? I see people like Amy Winehouse and Joss Stone listed but I never hear them on R&B stations nor do I consider what they do soul music.
Of those listed, I can't live without George Michael's music. | |

Silverlakephil,
Thanks for the tip on Pete Belasco. I'll have to check out more of his music and you're right, the similarity to Remy Shand is gigantic... at least on the song that played when I opened his myspace page. I was initially attracted to Remy Shand through his smooth jazz hit single, Send a Message but found the rest of his album to be rather one dimensional, like he was trying to copy every falsetto tune Prince has ever done on one CD. Didn't work for me but I felt he had a lot of promise. Too bad he just fell off the earth after that. My favorite "blue eyed" soul artist is Alice Russell from the UK. I'd listened to her for years singing with Quantic, The Bamboos and some other Truthought label groups and then when I saw her photo recently I just about fell out my chair! She's white???!!!! OMG! I had no idea.
Try this clip- poor sound quality but good energy and tres fonkay: http://www.youtube.com/wa...YMvsc8pzr4 | |

Well, now she has. I see where you're going with this, in songs like "Would I Lie To You?" and "Here Comes The Rain Again." I LOVE Annie, she has an incredibly soulful voice and her range is ridiculous. One of my favorite songs of hers is There Must Be an Angel. http://youtube.com/watch?v=VeI9c9Uvlrs | |
