🔥 “Elbow Grease” – a funky opener that hits hard
🌧️ “Wild As a Rainstorm” – a soul-deep anthem encouraging women and outsiders to ignore the noise and be a tapestry of dreams (now on Spotify’s Retro Soul playlist!)
🎸 “Rosetta” – a gospel-tinged tribute to trailblazer Sister Rosetta Tharpe🎙️ Vanessa writes, produces, arranges, and plays everything—guitars, saxophones, flute, and vocals—proving once again she’s a true force of nature. She’s joined by legendary Hi Records organist Rev. Charles Hodges and an all-star band of collaborators.
🏆 A 15-time Blues Music Award nominee and 5-time winner, Collier has shared stages with legends, made her Chicago Blues Festival debut before tens of thousands, and continues to redefine modern soul-blues with fearless originality.
