Rachelle Garniez - Gone to Glory (2020) [Official Digital Download]

Gone to Glory chronicles Rachelle Garniez' interpretation of songs written or made famous by a variety of dearly beloved artists, all recently departed. With the depth of her talent and breadth of her interests, Garniez' vocal approach eloquently transfigures pop and rock, jazz and soul - from David Bowie, Prince, Leonard Cohen, and Glen Campbell to Motörhead, Aretha Franklin, Nancy Wilson, Sharon Jones, and Mose Allison. With her masterful fluidity in full effect, she embodies the characters and inhabits the worlds. Garniez simultaneously loses herself and finds a way to make the songs her own. Regarding her singular style, The New Yorker has written, "Garniez wanders through the genres of country, jazz, and pop, leaving behind nothing but sweet wreckage." Indeed, with her latest album, Rachelle locates a certain saving sweetness among the ruins, gathering glory from the gone.
