There’s a whole crop of terrific female singers coming out with some beautiful records in Brighton at the moment
First off is this lovely EP by the enigmatic Jane Gilbert. We don’t know much about Jane except that she’s originally from Scotland but now living in Brighton and she’s produced a beautiful collection of songs that excel at promoting her gorgeous voice and top class songwriting chops. Sounding something like a cross between early 70s California and mid-2000s Portland, but very much her own self, think Joni Mitchell crossed with Alela Diane The former illustrated well in the opening song ‘Better Man’, the video for which is below, and the latter in the superb sparsely delicate closer ‘Coloured Sky’.
Jane Gilbert is a Scottish singer songwriter based in Brighton, UK. She has written a collection of works that reflect early 70’s acoustic folk with raw, stripped back songs, highlighting her pure, ethereal vocal range and lyrical prowess.
