Why does she not get more recognition? She is truly brilliant

Her voice is just stunning - one the closest thing to Aretha Franklin of this era.

I really don't know why she isn't more recognised - I think it must just be down to her songs?

Why for free!?

Just go buy them!

I loved her album MusicCitySoul, it's just full of brilliant, old-school soul!

Plus Keep this Fire Burning is AWESOME

Don't worry guys, Queen Bev has got a new album coming out very soon. She's about to shoot the video to the new single.

She is not my usual thing but I love her. She is so good! She is another case of under-deserved talent.

I seen her at Skin's concert in Manchester and was too shy to say hello!

Amazing voice, but her material seems to have gone down the MOR path...

actually bev is a really nice person and doesn't mind chatting to fans. i met her a few years ago and chatted to her for quite a bit, so if you see her again, don't be shy

coincidently, i also met skin the same day, she was nice too

bev can really cut it live too. i saw her warm up/soundcheck once and she was singing along to a macy gray song, and did a classic aretha track, this was without her band

i think the problem is that soul/rnb is very much a US based thing, so if you don't move across the water you just aren't going to do well. if she hooked up some a hot american producer she would probably go a lot further, but i think she prefers life as it is over here

Yeh - agree - Fantastic voice - mediocre material. Writers take note!

I agree with that. Her material now is getting slighty boring to listen to. I haven't really listened to her stuff after Affirmation.
