Jazz and Soul

"A soon to be worldwide superstar."

Once again, we at JazzandSoul HQ are extremely proud to present another huge revelation in music with twenty four year old, Los angeles based songstress Alex Nester and her debut record, Rattle the Walls. Nester, who has lived her share of life, even at this young age (as she was diagnosed with cancer in 2001) managed to release a collection of songs (15 in total), that excel on every level and in every style she touches. Therefore, Rattle the Walls is an extremely successful project that covers genres from gospel to R&B, from pop to blues and back.

Alex' extra surplus however comes in the form of a multi octave voice which she perfectly adjusts to the tempo, timbre, atmosphere and tone of the songs. The bluesy gospel - ish opener Unique, in fact represents both an ending and a beginning. In 2000, Alex was awarded The Outstanding Female Vocalist Award at the LA Music Awards with this particular track, right before she received the terrible news of her ilness. Now after her victorious bout, Unique returns ... inviting the listener into Nester's world of sounds as the (new) start of something beautiful indeed.

As mentioned, it's quite remarkable in which matter, Alex Nester morphs her songs of diversity as if each style hides no surprises. She shines in her blues with tracks as Unique and Been through it All, she sparkles when she delivers soulful sounds in Impossible or Smile. Her ballads are heavenly and float on Alex's incredible vocal range, lifting the quality standard into sky high dimensions and when she covers a jam, she doesn't avoid risks and does it like the best. Just listen to the classic soul groove I love you more than you'll ever Know and the sublime Stevie Wonder hotch potch Sir Stevie.

I remember back in the days, when a certain Mrs. Joss Stone put her nose to the window for the first time and received rave reviews on the 'uniqueness' of her sound. Well, count this little lady in the same league.
With proper promotion, Alex Nester will become a worldwide superstar.

Her full album debut, Rattle the Walls is a must have.
