Gin Wigmore – ‘These Roses’
One of my random discoveries while trawling through the internet, 22 year old Gin Wigmore has the very enviable combination of a unique voice and songwriting experience that so many singer-songwriters crucially lack. This New Zealand born young artist is signed to a rather big major label, so I hope that she is marketed the way that she is personally comfortable with, and not another nu-soul angle. Not that anything is wrong with that, I am a fan of Amy Winehouse and Adele, but if Gin were to take the same positioning she could be in danger of missing the whole soul revival and be dismissed unfairly by the listening public. But I’m sure the powers that be know this already.
