Rachel Flowers - Bigger on the Inside (2021)

The first time I heard about Rachel Flowers was a few years ago, when YouTube videos showed her performing ELP and The Nice covers on a piano, which impressively demonstrated her piano skills. She then got acquainted with the members of ELP, and later she participated in the tribute to Keith Emerson concert.

Since 2016 she is recording her own records. This weekend I am presenting her third album release "Bigger on the Inside" (2021). She is singing and playing all instruments by herself. The music is a mélange of jazz/rock/fusion, with orchestral parts that reminds of film scores, but also some Motown sound can be observed.

Blind since short after her birth she soon became a child prodigy, similar to Stevie Wonder, but because of the strong influence of Keith Emerson on her keyboard playing she sounds, of course, much proggier.
