Funny how musicians pop up out of nowhere sometimes, isn't it?
So last night I got a hankering to hear Kerry Ellis' somewhat wonderfully over the top version of Defying Gravity*. Just looking through her stuff on Apple Music, see an album that came out a few months back. And wouldn't you know, there's a duet with Newton Faulkner on there!
I absolutely adored his first couple of albums, and had his demo from before he was signed.
And *of course* there's a magnificent live version of Defying Gravity with Brian May.

Ellis' voice is absolutely remarkable.
@DJDarren PS. I was lucky enough to watch Rachel Tucker live in London. She’s rather amazing (and seemed like an equally lovely person when we had a chat afterwards).
@aral Wow, that's an incredible performance! My throat hurts just thinking about trying to hit some of those notes.
@DJDarren Yeah, she’s something else :)
