  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    With blues / rock influences, such as Patti Smith and Janis Joplin, this album is also inspired by the 20+ year marriage with her partner and, in some tracks, she brings to life this love that made ​​her fight against death.

    She has a distinctive voice, probably grown from roots, inspired by what she listened to, but the lyrics are sweet and melodic. A real treasure for those who follow and enjoy this genre.

    Each track, one by one, tells a mini-story about moments of her life and, with care, she reflects on various subjects, including some very recent ones in our society and situations that happen in everyday life, as the ‘99%’ tell us. Somehow, even situations related to what happens every day, these letters make it inspiring, timeless and also, in a certain way, refreshing .

    Perhaps contradictory to the fact that these tracks, including instrumental and lyrics, are inspiring and refreshing, they also could be a revival of some ancient roots that we used to listen to a few decades ago. It may be the beginning of a “New Age”, but we can also call back on the “Old Age” in a much more polite way and Norine definitely manages to captivate that audience, with many others to come.

    Must hear: ‘Lightning Strikes Twice’, ‘Today’, ’99 %’ + ‘The Perfect Love Affair’.

lyrics

99%

I got something

I got it in the bag

Don’t look at me mister

You’d be better off dead

We got busted for planning

It’s in the back of my head

We got morning in the coffee yeah

The blues is back in bed



Mama's in the kitchen

Papa hit the sack

Up all night he’s looking

But no one calls him back

Do we pay for groceries?

Or do we pay the rent?

Scrounging in the garbage

We’re the 99%

Occupy corruption

Overtake and lead

Even Jesus angered

When he tossed away the greed



Lining up for lunch

People’s rights should rule

Lining up for jobs

Corporate wrongs so cruel

Watching our destruction

Or are the 99 ahead?

We won’t lose the world to evil

But to those who watch instead



My gal’s on piano

She playing it real well

Musing on this blues riff

As we drift on down to hell

We dream of baskets and the babies

Dream of corn and the gravies

Living on empties

Living on maybe, maybe, maybes

Nothing to fall back on

On nothing to depend

We got a sweet sense

We got no cents

We got a sixth sense

We got no sense

We got a sweet sense

about

Norine Braun Vancouver, British Columbia

Her signature funky folk-blues sound simply cannot be matched. Best listened to as loud as your neighbours will tolerate. Abortmag

Her music sounds like the union of Nick Cave with Patti Smith & City and Colour deep in the Canadian forests.
MTM

An imaginative display of fine musicianship, potent vocals and heartfelt lyrics, talent like hers doesn't exactly come around too often. Music Emission
