Joelle Lurie makes a claim that she is one of many in the NYC/International scene but after a few moments with this sassy ginger with the voice the size of a house and a personality like some palatial compound in the comforts of the tropicals (easy to hang with), you see how special she is. I promised to get her tea--she showed up with coffees, champagne and all the components for a mimosa.  Joelle has been responsible many times for making the hair on the back of my neck stand on its end, VIA RECORDING...it's no joke. Emotive qualities in a singer/personality vary, but when you hear one in a million, you know. A gem. Rare depth.  A giver of lady boners. A joy. DIG IN.
