THE VOCAL SELECTION
Our vocal choice caused us the most deliberation, and hence was the last entry to be finalised. Who is the Bob Ross of music? Again, we eliminated the usual suspects, and instead introduce Melanie Di Biasio. As smooth as chocolate, as crisp as snow - yet, Lilies (made in a room “where there was no light, no night or day.. no heat”) is a black, brooding work channeling Nina Simone, Billie Holliday, and Beth Gibbons. But not Bob Ross. Maybe on not such a good day. (artwork credit: Jérôme Witz)
