Joe Worricker
ESNS: 2010
British born Joe Worricker is the Essex boy who sings like a soul diva. His haunting vocal stylings reference 50s & 60s chanteuses enveloped in a husky soulful delivery. Catch one of his regular shows at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London where you will find him playing his current self-penned music. Joe describes his latest tracks as neo-soul with surrealist lyrical themes, 'I write autobiographically, but with elements of fantasy as I personally find that more exciting & evoking, blurring the lines between real & surreal'. With the release of this talented diva’s subtly subversive Window Shopping. Inspired by Amsterdam’s notorious shop windows and something of a live favourite, Window Shopping is a heartbreaking take on dating in the app era and, by Joe’s estimation, it sounds like a combination of Mr Sandman, Amy Winehouse, and Willy Wonka. (Mind you, with vocals this distinctive, to the rest of us it sounds like nobody other than Joe Worricker.) “It’s a song about window shopping for a future partner, the qualities they exude and the qualities you think you’re looking for while you’re searching for The One,” he adds. And then he sighs. “I still haven’t found The One.”
