Search - Helena Jessie :: Law of Attraction

2009 album from the British Electro Lounge diva. Helena Jessie is not a quantum physicist. She is, however, a singer and songwriter with a voice so striking one can't help but be transported to an era when Ella Fitzgerald, Eartha Kitt and Julie London reigned supreme. Contemporaneously, of course, artists such as Grace Jones and Goldfrapp have provided a more sinister sisterly soundtrack but it is impossible to listen to Helena without thinking you are in the presence of an artist who combines glamour and intrigue so cleverly that she manages to be both relevant and reverential in equal measure. We might think we've met someone like Helena before (in the guise of Nina Simone or Roisin Murphy perhaps) but we would be mistaken. On The Law Of Attraction Helena manages to combine Latin, Jazz, '50s Lounge and '70s grooves to such effect that she appears utterly unique.
