Valerie June's latest album Owls, Omens & Oracles alnost slipped through my net a couple of weeks back.How remiss of me. But I gave it a listen late last night and here it is as song of the days. And very excellent it is too.
June has a voice that sounds slightly squeezed and on the verge of anguish and an exquisite grasp on the soul songbook. Having a song called Joy ! Joy! that sounds like The Chipmunks trying their hand at Jean Knight is a good start. Find the Joy Joy in your Soul people. You know you want to.
The record moves on to different miids, dufferent temois. It's all deeply romantic in a milennial slightly David Lynch way. Occasionally slightly chintzy but the heart is firmly in the right place.
