An introduction to Karmelle for those of you who don't know of her.
I personally came across her songs (mostly original works composed by herself) after listening and falling in love with Izzy's 'Cancion' album with it's Spanish Guitar theme. I was searching for similar sounds when I stumbled across one of Karmelle's own compositions.
Here is a brief bio taken from her YT Channel.
Karmelle is a singer/songwriter and trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. After she graduated with Merit she performed as an Opera Singer throughout Europe, including at the Milan Festival, Wexford Festival and Holland Park Festival.
She received glowing reviews in The Independent and Opera Magazine when she sang the Principal Soprano role of Nell in Max Brandts' Machinist Hopkins, at the Royal Festival Hall.
Although her training was mainly classical she has always enjoyed performing and listening to all music, including dance, folk, jazz, and rock.
Her love of other musical styles has led her to compose songs which are a fusion of contemporary genres and classical singing.
From the beautiful flamenco influenced Ritorna A Me (Return To Me), to the jazzy melodic Amore Al Sole (Love in the Sun), Karmelles warm and lovely soprano voice draws the listener in, while the fusion of genres brings a new audience to classical singing.
