(Gabriela Martina)

No White Shoes is the mesmerizing debut of Swiss-born, US-based vocalist Gabriela Martina. Martina possesses a clarity and a true sense of how explore a song that is a joy to hear. This originality accompanies a collection of mostly original compositions and wonderfully re-worked classics that make this production, like the singer’s voice, something truly special. The excellent quartet joining Martina is comprised of Alex Bailey on drums, Kyle Miles on bass, Jiri Nedoma on piano and Jussi Reijonen on guitar. This is a singer worth following now and into her musical future.
