“One of the most electrifying I’ve seen” – Nick Grimshaw on Collette Cooper’s performances

Cooper first gained wider attention after broadcaster and musician Huey Morgan named her one of his favourite UK vocalists on BBC Radio 6 Music. Her music has since received support from outlets including BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 6 Music and Jazz FM.

Producer Tony Visconti has described Cooper as having “a very unique sound” and “a singular voice”, while BBC Radio 6 Music presenter Chris Hawkins said: “Collette has the most extraordinary voice, it gives me goosebumps.”

Nick Grimshaw previously called one of Cooper’s performances “one of the most electrifying I’ve seen”, and Morgan has described her voice as “incomparable”.
