Izo FitzRoy [2021] - Little Birdie [Jalapeno]

Sadly, Izo FitzRoy's  last single, "Everybody Knows This Ain't Right", released a month ago which I raved about (rated 9/10), did absolutely nothing on any of the UK soul charts, so I'm not holding my breath for her latest single "Little Birdie" to do any better, but I will keep backing her as sooner or later we will have to take her more seriously as she has one of the best white soul voices I've heard with a smoky, bluesy, raw tone to her voice honed from her gospel background.

Born and bred in London, she  quotes her influences as Janis Joplin and Bill Withers and her seven-piece band is accompanied by six gospel backing singers.

She has released two albums to date, debuting in 2017 with "Skyline" followed up last year with "How The Mighty Fall" which she describes as country soul, presumably influenced by Bill Withers but she also cites Donny Hathaway as an influence for the album?
