Alessi’s Ark - Simple Man (Lynrd Skynrd Cover)
It would be quite difficult to build on the raw emotion of this classic Lynrd Skynrd ballad. So why not do the opposite? With her tender, echoed vocals, London’s Alessi Laurent-Marke breaks down this song into its simplest form while leaving its essence unscathed. This blossoming singer recently released an album called Notes From The Treehouse which may possibly allude to the fact that she’s quite young - in the twilight of her teenage years in fact. While there are plenty of musicians getting early starts, Alessi’s music carries with it a maturity that avoids the Taylor Swift crowd, placing her more in league with the Joanna Newsom’s and Alela Diane’s out there.
