The American-British songwriter Celeste belongs to the not-so-secret insider tips about neo-soul. Her haunting voice, her sound with influences from jazz, blues and R&B are catchy and stick in your head. »Lately«, the title track from an EP released four years ago in the US only, is a perfect example of her strengths, just like her hit »Strange«, which drifts along in a minimalist fashion against the backdrop of a really fine arrangement. Which then clears away any final doubts: Celeste is one of the most exciting and best voices in the genre at the moment.
