    As middle of the road as this singer undoubtedly seems, there is, however, much to commend her debut album, Not Your Muse – a gutsier, wiser and more elliptical set of songs than may at first appear.

Its a full of historys, a few songs are telling us a cleary menssage, others talk about feelings and love. But when you heard it you can understand it all. The sound its the key, its the assamble to connect all. Its fine, mellodic, gorgeous. Natural, without expectations. Celeste's voice its to good that fulls to well. Some songs that no shines to well by themselvs, but when you push it togheter, are precious. At this moment, i devoted to this. Give me so chills and makes me want to express my thoughts with a guitar. So cool and authentic. I'm seeing brilliant future for her
    Top's for me: Ideal Woman, Tell Me Something I don't Know, Not Your Muse, A Kiss, Father's Son    … Full Review »

    This is my introduction to Celeste, a British-Jamaican-American singer.

Probably my newest sensation in the next few days, weeks, or months. Wondering why? Her voice reminds me a lot of Rebecca Ferguson, one of the many British talents wasted by X Factor and Sony Music. Her artistic line falls within the same circle as Duffy, early Adele, Amy Winehouse and Joss Stone, the curators between British pop and soul. An honest, impeccable, sweet and admirable work. Wouldn't it be nice if all albums were like this? Indeed, although somewhat utopian, and diversity is necessary, since there are contrasting audiences. Meanwhile, we can continue to enjoy all the fruits that Celeste brings us in an unconsciously vigorous way.
