Yes I think she’s brilliant, and very versatile.
Apparently the Julliard School of Music created an extra place in their yearly intake for her. She is now ploughing her own way through the quagmire which is the modern commercial music industry.
Her output can difficult to locate if you want downloads / streaming but it’s available from her website and there a a plethora of YouTube videos she has done over lockdown(s)

I find her live album of Nina Simone covers as better than listening to the originals.
Heresy perhaps…

Cockney Translation, hilarious and inspired translating of Cockney slang into Jamaican Patois
And of course Police Officer
Respect due and RIP Smiley Culture who passed away under very suspicious circumstances when Police raided his home and whom claim he stabbed himself in the chest.

If you like Gary Moore, check out his version of Freddie King’s The Stumble which he performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1990. I think this really cooks!
