Florence Joelle's Kiss Of Fire are:
Florence Joelle: Vocals, harmonica, rhythm guitar
Chris Campion: Bass
Huck Whitney: Lead guitar
Arthur Lager: Drums and percussion
Introducing the unstoppable Chris Campion on click bass. The infamous Arthur Lager on drums and percussion and, on lead guitar, the tenacious tunesmith Huck Whitney (The Flaming Stars). Florence Joelle, the songstress with a style all her own and a subconscious colonised by vintage American tunes, sings of things that go bump in the night. Paris-born, she was bred on jazz at home, and on the music of the city’s streets: the Gypsy art of Django Reinhardt, bal musette, and North African rai. As a girl she began to collect rock’n’roll, doo-wop and early blues…
While paying homage to the past, Florence Joelle’s Kiss of Fire have carved out a unique sound that vibrates in the present.
Happening right now, you will never forget your first Kiss Of Fire.
" Florence Joelle sings rock ’n’ roll like Billie Holiday might, croons a torch ballad as Wanda Jackson may, and spices it all with a bit of Patti Smith attitude." Vintage Guitar Magazine
" Paris-born, Camden-based, her music has a heady, jazzy swing of the hips, the sultry tango of 'I’ll Come Running' the perfect soundtrack to any Martini-fuelled, Mad Men-themed party." Q Magazine
“It's her voice that smacks you around the head. It's utterly unique. “
Ruth Barnes' Pick Of The Week, Tom Robinson’s Show, BBC 6 Music
“Kiss of Fire is just that: the tenderness with the heat, and the sensuality with the danger. Smokin’!” theartsdesk.com
"Gloriously retro, incorporating elements of vintage rock’n’roll, jazz, French chanson, and rhythm and blues as it used to be". RocknReel
“Right now this is the best cigarettes and coffee album of 2011.” Garth Cartwright
"Super fine and sassy singer fusing a Tarrantino-esque sense of cool with a vocal style that imbibes both Peggy Lee and Edith Piaf with touches of jazz and rock 'n' roll." Time Out
"All you can do is nod in assent and enjoy. [...] An absolutely splendid debut. " Bucketfull of Brains
“They conjure an atmosphere of sultry exoticism on this mix of standards and originals that combine early R'n'B stylings with French chanson and create something very special. Listening to these settings and her delightful voice the real world fades from view and you're suddenly decades away in a Left Bank cellar or a Manhattan cabaret. Addictive and compulsive.”
Bucketfull of Brains
“It stretches out past traditional big band charts without losing any of the fun or fireworks. An exciting addition to the jazz landscape.” All About Jazz
"An album to be taken very seriously.” The Vinyl District
"The whole thing has tinges of R'n'B, blues, jazz, calypso, rockabilly and even some chanson 'n' swing, with reverb-y guitar to the fore. Fantastic".
Intoxica Records, Christmas Top 10
