This lady from Liverpool just emulates class and oozes with sweet sophisticated charm. When Rebecca Ferguson first stepped on to X Factor, she was incredibly shy and vulnerable. Now she’s blossomed into a comtempary jazz artist despite not winning the X Factor crown.

Her voice is like velvet to listen to which makes any song she sings delicately quaint. Her new album Lady Sings The Blues is a brilliant showcase of her vocal range. Shedding away her fears has allowed for her to master her voice in such a natural way, that makes for easy listening.

I could listen to track All Of Me on repeat during a summers afternoon, resting on the hills of Hampstead. This is the perfect album to play at garden dinner parties.

I’d love to know what you would play when having a summer party with friends. Jazz or something else?
