Josephine Manchester, UK
Manchester’s soulful chanteuse, Josephine, has created a self-reflective debut album which illustrates the many different sides of a fascinating character.

This is real sad guy music. So vulnerable and raw, but sounds sweet. 3 of these songs really HIT me and are SO beautiful (and I like the album as a whole).

I normally only listen to electronic music, but after listening to this album months ago I found it kept calling out to me. Now after purchasing it I can see why. I am totally addicted to its beauty and harmony. Thank you so much for the wax version, as it is the only form of music I collect.
