ETHEL LINDSEY “Pretty Close” CD

★Supervision and commentary: Kanazawa Toshikazu (Light Mellow)

A newcomer from the French label Favorite Recordings, known for its high-quality releases! This outstanding debut album from French singer-songwriter Ethel Lindsey is soulful and funky, with a 70s flair!

"Nostalgic yet new!? The full-fledged solo debut of Ethel Lindsey, a Paris-based pop 'n' soul singer with a career spanning more than 30 years, is a brilliant mix of '70s city soul and mellow discotheque, sprinkled with a touch of '80s flavor. Everyone who responds to makeup, afros, suits, wide ties, and the words Black Contemporary, gather here with a cocktail in hand." -- Kanazawa Toshikazu

Ethel Lindsey's debut album, Pretty Close, is deeply rooted in the sound and spirit of the 1970s.

But this is more than a nostalgic tribute; it's a sincere tribute to a musical tradition. With a deep respect for the past and a forward-thinking spirit, Ethel Lindsey breathes new life into classic genres, reaffirming their relevance in the contemporary music scene.
