    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

I WILL I WON’T ©Norine Braun SOCAN
Curls light up your hair
I get lost in there
All that you could be
Define reality
As you ponder why
I’ll get in your mind
Walls will not impede
What you mean to me

Round the corners to the attic
Far above the rooms
Past the tender, climbs the psyche
Ego’s guts are strewn
Ascending stairs, descending cages
Underneath the floor
Grasps a sight to worm you into
Introspective lore

I will get there or I won’t get there
I don’t care anyway
I will get there or I won’t get there
I don’t care anyway

Grip keeps slipping
Jingled tripping steps
Are turning back
Shadowed hands outstretched to guide you
Hold your head intact

I will get there or I won’t get there
I don’t care anyway
I will get there or I won’t get there
I don’t care anyway

Gently you pass by
Count me back in time
Wake on distant shores
Ego’s fading more
When you’ll realize
Psyche’s oh so wise
She will lead you in
Where there is no end

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 ... more
