Track: Brooke Combe – The Last Time


Sam Crowston

Scotland’s soulful newcomer Brooke Combe has shared brand new track ‘The Last Time’ taking from her her debut album ‘Dancing At The Edge Of The World’ due out next year via Modern Sky Records. The track follows on from the albums title track shared last month. Check it out here.

Collaborating with musician and producer James Skelly, best known as the front man of The Coral, ‘Dancing At The Edge Of The World’ is the perfect opening statement, showing a tantalising first look at the artist she will become. Redolent of those first offerings from Michael Kiwanuka, Duffy and Corinne Bailey Rae, it revels in lush, orchestral arrangements, irresistible rhythms and a voice that could have come right out of Motown.

Brooke explains; 

“This album is the most authentic piece of work I’ve done so far. After experimenting with a few different styles and working with different song writers, I decided to go back to my roots and work with my original team and created something that I genuinely love. We’ve created a real summer soul album. Recorded live to tape, it captures similar vibes to all my favourite old soul records, and delves into themes relating to love, toxic relationships (no surprises there), as well as exploring escapism. Overall this album is raw, mean, groovy & emotional.”

Upbeat and jazzy, Combe’s vocals are confident, smooth as honey and smokey hued. The music backing has a perfect balance to it allowing her voice to cut through. It’s soulful, poppy and infectious like all good classics. The hype is well deserved
