McCalla, Sabine – Folk [BRICK RED VINYL] - New 12"

New Orleans songwriter and singer Sabine McCalla combines elements of jazz,  blues, calypso, New Orleans R&B and Haitian creole compas, spins stories of heartbreak and hope through intimate arrangements and honest inflections.

Recorded by Sam Doores (the Deslondes) and Duff Thompson (Mashed Potato Records), “Folk” exposes Sabine’s love of laments and folk spirituals, her penchant for simple truths and her interest in divining fundamental wisdom about love and loss from a small tangle of words. Commanding in its simplicity, with most songs sung a capella or with minimal guitar or vocal accompaniment, the songs tell the stories of lost souls and broken hearts, embedded with painful truths that come to us calmly, the ones that are physically and psychically impossible to ignore.
