Wireless Festival 2009 Sponsored By Barclaycard

If you don’t know the name Florence Rawlings yet, then you won’t have heard her voice. This 20 year-old Londoner is set to become a household name with her impressive debut of authentic soul, raw grooves and rhythm & blues. Equally at home in the studio or in concert, Florence is a natural performer – as will be evident when she takes to the stage at this year’s Wireless Festival in Hyde Park.

With a remarkably fresh but mature delivery Florence’s enormous voice swoops and soars through an impressive vocal range taking inspiration and style from legendary vocalists such as Aretha Franklin, Eva Cassidy and Martha Reeves.

For her debut album, A Fool In Love, expect gritty arrangements, soulful melodies and vibrant brass work complemented by gospel vocals and addictive rhythms culminating in a blend of raw soul that has been off the airwaves for far too long.

Florence’s first single, The Only Woman in the World, is a rolling bluesy romp of a song, that blends elements of country and Memphis soul with buoyant horns, rollicking keys, romantic yet raunchy lyrics and even a harmonica bridge that could easily have graced a Motown classic.
