KERRIE MASTERS is a UK singer/songwriter who grew up listening to some great music courtesy of mum and dad and good old nan… I mean can you better Etta James and Marvin Gaye or even Doris Day and Elvis? Kerrie tells us that her other musical influences include Paolo Nutini , B.B. King, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and “anyone that sings and creates music from their soul”. Little wonder that her own music always has a soulful, emotive edge as witnessed on her 2002 ‘Better Place’ EP.
One of that mini-album’s tracks ‘Stubborn’ is currently winning plaudits in a new Soulfuledge (aka Russell Pollitt) remix. The original ‘Stubborn’ rode a bluesy, dramatic groove which the new mix soulfully turns round. It rides in percussively before a loping bass line (not a million miles away from Omar’s ‘There’s Nothing Like This’) kicks in to establish the vibe. Cool, jazzy keys and meandering sax lines bring a summer vibe which is cranked up by Kerrie’s sweet and lovely vocal. This is a proper summertime trip and comes recommended. If you prefer the tune sans vocals, there’s the instrumental available too.
