I remember the night this was on tv. I am staggered that it was 1997. Holy Moly how time flies. Anyway... As I recall she spoke to Jools before her song and said that the song was about an unwell loved one. Can anyone remember?
I bought the album this song is on, when it came out many years ago. It blew my mind. And it still does. I mean, come on. The symbology the feeling the melody the arrangement everything is on point. It's fantastic.
I can't believe I haven't heard of Carleen Anderson until this year! Through her cover of Paul McCartney's "Maybe I'm Amazed". I feel I've been missing out on a great talent! Time to play catch-up!
Thennnn ... you missed a lot! She used to be well-known in the Acid Jazz / Downtempo / Souljazz scene of the late 90's - especially one Downbeat Remix of "Nervous Breakdown" which perfectly fitted into the whole era of Brand New Bavhies, Incognito and such bands. Her voice has a special "coloration" you wont forget if you heart it once (or at least for me as somebody hearing the difference) which sometimes sounds like a soulful male who tries to sing high tones he can't reach. And her lower register is impressive and much stronger than she shows actually. But I agree with you, I really feel special about her and in between all the same-sounding "voice acrobats" nowadays.Her voice has a certain truth and emotional impact what makes me wonder why she isn't up in the music history like others with "special voices" often do...
i just love this song, the voice, the piano are just fantastic. if anyone could find find / share the piano sheets of this beautiful song, tat'd be great. i am trying to reproduce it by ear but haven't managed to get quite there yet...
What a performance! A beautiful song, beautifully sung. Such a wonderful palette of colours, from the warmth of the low notes to the sweetness of the highs!
Absolutely gorgeous performance! For those of you who like this, also check out Leanne La Havas, here on UA-cam. Lovely voices; both Carleen and Leanne
I needed #this ..' - #In14Ways Keeeping life 100 in 2020. I am an eagle. You might trick me once but you will never trick me twice, let alone thrice. And yes, kindness is king. The gift of love. But love isn't a door mat. Life is too short for disloyal friends; or fake peeps using you as a social ladder to ascend. Better know your friends; cuz #beautiful things, can be deceptive. True life #lessons ..' I did not attack you or make you feel inferior. If your conscience has convicted take it to the alter. One great friend is worthier than a thrillion fake friends ..'

2024 Anyone...Love This..
Maybe the most underrated female soul singer the UK has ever produced
All Black British women vocalists are underrated and under celebrated, the UK squanders them
2025 and I'm still listening to the gem 🙌🏻
