Acclaimed singer/songwriter Thea Gilmore joins Jools & the band, singing a Cole Porter classic live, and picking some of her favourite records.
With a rich, soulful voice that has drawn comparisons to compatriots Alison Moyet and Annie Lennox, English singer/songwriter Thea Gilmore makes adult-alternative pop in which the influence of childhood idols Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan shines through. She is a great favourite of Bruce Springsteen.
After emerging with "Burning Dorothy" in 1998, she charted in the U.K. for the first time with her fifth studio album, "Avalanche" , in 2003. Gilmore found a balance between the alternately sparer and more well-polished sound of prior releases on 2010's "Murphy's Heart", which also landed on the U.K. album chart.
A collaboration with folk icon Sandy Denny using archival recordings, "Don't Stop Singing" followed in 2011, and she made her U.K. Top 40 debut with 2013's "Regardless". Her 2019 album "Small World Turning" committed to an acoustic palette with no traditional drum kit.
