(email your thoughts on Flotsam if you would like to make them known!) Rock n Reel Magazine ...... "Julie Collings, a Derby-based singer-songwriter debuts with Flotsam, a gently beguiling collection of eleven originals where her atmospheric vocals, tumbling guitar lines and occasional effects push things in the direction of acoustic acid folk. Sporadically it does float off into the ether in its dreamy ambience but her stylish delivery manages to prevent disaster. .." ------------- Overplay.com...... "Melancholy but never maudlin, it's spellbinding stuff. . " ------------- Jo Overfield - Sundown...... "This is acoustic music at its most effective, with songs so exquisite they find a place inside your head to fit perfectly." -------------- BBC Radio 2 Janice Long...... " I think its lovely!" -------------- BBC Radio Derby Shane O' Connor....... "Breathtaking!.......Light's up a room" -------------- BBC Derby Music...... "One of Derby's best kept secrets - a dreamy singer-songwriter who's been penning tunes since her early teens. Everyone's rumbling on about James Morrison being discovered in Derby but there's no way he's the last word in talent from this city.... Beautiful melodies, crystal clear voice, fantastic harmonies - and a worldly wisdom far beyond her 25 years. Taking in influences including Shawn Colvin and Suzanne Vega, Julie has a dreamy, melancholic sound that's earnt her a loyal following and superb live reputation." ------------------ Rambles Folk & Roots Magazine...... "Iâ€™ve been eagerly awaiting this womanâ€™s debut album for some time now, just like you did when you were a kid waiting for the sweetshop man to get the new jar of cola cubes. Julie Collings is from Derby, she writes songs and plays the guitar. She works in a drum shop. She likes cinnamon flavoured chewing gum. BBC Radio 2â€™s Janice Long played her on her show recently. I saw Julie live last year and her songs were as crisp as they sound recorded, I was impressed. But can she make a good first album? The answer is yes and â€˜goodâ€™ just isnâ€™t enough of a description so Iâ€™ll continue. Iâ€™m really glad that Julie has decided to incorporate other sounds and instruments into her classic acoustic style. It makes for a very haunting, dreamlike quality. â€˜All Elseâ€™ is the hello track, itâ€™s electronica personified and works brilliantly with her voice, one of my favourites. â€˜Side Eyeâ€™ is like a seesaw of sounds, it kicks off then vastly moves into a mellow place but I think this has a great hook, really reminds me of Juliana Hatfield. â€˜Flotsamâ€™ is taken from the demo and having seen this live, itâ€™s a testament to Julieâ€™s voice. Itâ€™s funny, listening to this album; it has a very otherworldly texture making Julieâ€™s material seem timeless. â€˜The Last Postâ€™ is very poignant, awesome use of falsetto; itâ€™s lovely if I can get away with using such a Grandma term. I was looking forward to the â€˜Simple Thingsâ€™ track, also from the demo, this has top radio potential and I could totally imagine a string quartet behind it in the bridge. This was the song that made me think that Julie can and will make it, plus it made me book her for an event I run. The album finishes with the ghostly â€˜Follow Youâ€™, sounding gospel in parts and quite hypnotic. Altogether an experimental venture into the mind of Julieâ€™s music, Flotsam is poetic, moving, soulful and all recorded in her spare room. While the rest of us keep boxes for Ebay in ours." --------- LIVE review from Girls Rock - 2007/ Blush Bar, London First up was Julie Collings whose dreamy voice held the crowd in rapt attention from the first note to the last strum, the front row sitting on the floor in order to better appreciate the show. Her opening song Side Eye already sounds like a staple for any self-respecting girl's cd collection (her album Flotsam's out now) and the moody version of one of my personal favourites, Blue Moon, really made me smile. Not so much torch song as a smouldering trip up the river. Among the other skillfully penned offerings â€“ one of which appears on the soundtrack of soon-to-be-released film Tomorrow Is Today â€“ she threw in a surprisingly different take on the Police's Every Little Thing She Does is Magic. Her lightness of touch belies a depth of musical talent. She's supporting Horse on the Hebden Bridge leg of her UK tour, and despite this, the bums on floor and the acoustic guitar vibe, her performance was a far cry from a throwback to seventies folk stylings. She's got a contemporary edginess and is just very, very good. Record Label: Perrito Records, PO Box 7128 Derby Type of Label: Indie
