    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

DRIFT AWAY
©Norine Braun SOCAN
You could leave a light on
Toss a rope to hang on
Send a lifeline to me
Make sure you get through to me
In case you should ever float
In case you should ever drift away

Free fall
Get back to default
Recourse
Get off my high horse
You see got I get a move on
Try and find a free flowing knowing
And let go
Upset the recall
Get back
To the tow
Do you see where I go?

Hope is like the bird
Sensing the coming dawn
Starts to sing her song
Engulfed in black
She trusts the sun will come soon
To warm her
Watching the darkness drift away

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

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