As requested by Tim.
Harriet (born Harriet Roberts, 1966, Sheffield, England), is a pop-soul singer who had a couple of minor hits in the early 90s, alongside an album called Woman To Man.
Temple of Love is a very cool song that has aged particularly well. I perhaps didn't give this enough attention first time round but I'm enjoying it a lot more in later years. I'm not quite sure it's because so much modern music sounds so awful, or that it just got lost amongst some other amazing music in the early 90s? Anyway, there are some nice Sade Smooth Operator vibes on display here, and she sings tell hell out of the song in a smoky, seductive manner.
I don't really know much about Harriet or this release so if anyone has any info I can add here I would greatly appreciate it. For now I'll simply have to nick a bunch of stuff from Wikipedia...
In 1991, Harriet took part in the Italian Song Festival in San Remo with the English version of the song "In questa città" (written by Pino Daniele and performed in Italian by Loredana Bertè). The English version was titled, "All That We Are".
She co-wrote the song "Whatever You Need" with Russ Courtenay for Tina Turner's 1999 album, Twenty Four Seven.
In 2014, she released the digital album Reality containing ten tracks, under the name Harriet Roberts.
The CD is one of those annoying ones that can't be scanned very well. Damn.
Thank you, can't wait to listen this again.
ReplyDeleteHarriet has a beautiful voice, Kymba. I know of her songs from Paul O'Grady who seemed to be the only one playing her songs!
