Life, Love and Gossip

A 12 track neo-soul album (56m 21s) — released March 20th 2006 on Kwerk

One of London's best-kept secrets, Rachael Calladine, finally releases her debut album. Produced by Kwerk label owner Geoff Wilkinson (of Us3), 'Life, Love and Gossip? unravels twelve eclectic tracks of pure late night listening bliss. Rachael sings an exciting mix of Jazz-tinged contemporary Soul/R&B. From the lush, feelgood starter 'Sunshine' to the glorious swoons of 'Fantasy', the album takes you on Rachael's personal journey through love & life. The songs are a delicate balance of sweet melodies and snazzy production but the real essence of the album lies in Rachael's tender, sultry vocals. In 2002 Rachael's song 'La La Li' was licensed by DJs Gilles Peterson, for his 'Worldwide Vol. 2? comp, and Germany's Rainer Truby, for his 'Glucklich Vol. 5? album, and subsequently became a dance floor favourite of funky jazz DJs throughout the world. In September 2004, she joined hip-hop/jazz group Us3 and went on to perform over 50 gigs in 14 countries with them over the next 12 months. A spellbinding live performer, Rachael will be embarking on an extensive series of gigs to support the release.'
