    Vancouver based singer-songwriter Norine Braun is an enigma. Is she a jazz chanteuse? A blues singer? A pop singer? A rocker? On No. 8, she almost dares you to decide for yourself. Braun recruited a killer collection of roots rock, soul and blues session players including renowned producer and Juno nominated, Adam Popowitz (Pacifika, Mollies Revenge, Leela Gilday). The album is a mix of new originals by Norine Braun with blues, roots rock and soul at the centre.
    "Over the course of her eight albums local songwriter Braun has developed exceptionally sharp lyricism, fluid vocals and a way with a driving melody. Case in point, the single "Drift Away" from her new CD." - Stuart Derdeyn The Province Vancouver BC


    " No. 8 receives my highest rating of 5*****. Highly Recommended and Thoroughly Enjoyed. Another Treasure of an Album from a Truly Canadian Treasure..."- John Vermilyea (Blues Underground Network)

    "The album received an A on an Ato F grading scale, with Drift Away, Drunk, I Will I Won't, Sprack Chica Boogie, and Neutral Territory. Very eclectic sound! Powerful vocals set the tone for a blend of genres in this album." - Matt Nightingale CHSR Music Director

    "Overall, Norine is a singer/songwriter with a sense of humour... There is enough tongue-in-cheek and embracing of silliness to bring a smile to a hardened reviewer’s face. You can just tell that Norine Braun had a ball recording this album." -Ana Bedard Beatroute Magazine

lyrics

Sprack Chica Boogie

When you are down
When you are low
And you are feeling sad
I’m gonna find you
I’m gonna tease you
I’m gonna make you mad
We’re gonna set loose
We’re gonna show them,
We’re gonna fool them now,
I’m gonna help you
I’m gonna show you how

Sprack Chick Doonie
Sprack Chica Loonie
Sprack Chica loonie toonie town

Sprack Chica Doonie
Sprack Chica Loonie
Sprack Chica loonie toonie town

We’re gonna show them.
We’re gonna fool them
We’re gonna mess around
We’re gonna move on
We’re gonna blow this town

When you are blue
When you are lost
When you are feeling mean
I’m gonna get you
I’m gonna shake you
I’m gonna make you scream
We’re gonna get loose
We’re gonna break free
We’re gonna mend the row
I’m gonna help you
I’m gonna show you how

CHORUS

We’ve got a gal and her name’s Daisy
She not mad she’s just half crazy
Works so hard she makes us lazy
We got burned and turned out spacey

She’s okay she always pays me
In kind words the deeds are hazy
Wags her tongue, the color’s maize eh
She will fool and wear a paisley crown

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
