The artist is a relatively unheralded British songstress by the name of Sally J. Johnson. As this song shows, Sally has a wonderfully pure voice that seems so effortless. It is a crime that so few people have heard of her because she has undoubtedly got the talent and voice to make some truly exceptional music.
Hopefully the Panasonic advert will make people's ears prick up and want to know more about this fabulous, Leicester-born singer.
Dreaming out Loud is a song of simplicity and gradual building up. It starts with her sultry, ethereal voice accompanied by a soft piano, before other elements enter the fold such as a lovely bass and a drum beat and a string arrangement. It shows some excellent musical craft and feels like an aural massage, gently soothing the ears as it goes, giving the listener a sensual experience.
Thankfully, the song is now on iTunes, along with the rest of Sally's EP, "The Beacon Field." Of course, all these tracks were self-penned and show a real love of music that is so much more than the soulless, greed-obsessed industry that dominates today's charts.
Sally has a fantastic website, which is full of information and examples of her work as well as being one of the best-designed sites I have come across. Even her biography and news sections are as thorough as one could hope to see.
If you want to discover something new today, do yourself a favour and check Sally out. She has many more songs to offer, and could be one to keep track of for many years.
