“Vintage Life Magazine recently caught up with East London born Singer/Songwriter Tara London.Tara is the recent recipient of two prestigious gongs at this years 'The Peoples Music Awards' for 'Best Female Solo Artist & and Best Soul/Funk/Blues artist 2010. With her authentic 50's early 60's sound Tara has been gently tiptoing around the music scene but is set to don platform boots in order to stamp her place among the music industry's glitterati with her upcoming debut album 'Fairytales & Stepping Stones. Tara London's Music is a fusion of Jazz/Blues and Retro Soul, think Eva Cassidy meets Peggy Lee, this girl has soul in abundance that instantly turns London's overcast skyline into a high definition technicolor rainbow of natrual born talent! Tara London sits more than comofortably alongside her comtempories Duffy, Amy winehouse & Paloma Faith, while still bringing something fresh and undeniably evocative to the British music scene.”

“Single Review "The best blues singer this year" Tara London represents the cream of London's unsigned talent. With a truly fantastic voice that can do it all, interesting vocals, great hooks and lush production, it's easy to see why Tara is receiving so much attention. The simple arrangement of BitterSweet exemplifies Tara's abilities as a song writer and vocalist. Having seen Tara live, I can't recommend her enough. A rare world class talent that deserves a much wider recognition. ”

“Chart Focus - Tara London With a surname like London, ltd took an instant shine to this soul diva. And when we heard her voice we were positively smitten. by Tourdates Staff Writer, first published in LondonTourdates #057 ,15th January 2010 Already drawing comparisons with Nora Jones, Paloma Faith and Eva Cassidy, the young singer fuses elements of jazz, blues and sixties pop to create a sultry and emotive sound that’s both individual and heavy rooted in its influences. Citing the likes of Billie Holiday, Elvis Presley and Janis Joplin as her inspirations, London draws heavily from the past but manages to find a contemporary edge that’s reminiscent of Amy Winehouse and Duffy. 2010 looks set to be a big year for Tara with a European and US tour planned and an album due for release… www.tourdates.co.uk/tara-london”
