Resonance Records Introduces UK Jazz Vocalist, Polly Gibbons

Resonance Records is excited to announce the new release Many Faces of Love from UK jazz vocalist, Polly Gibbons, to be released later this year. Polly Gibbons is one of the most respected and talked about young singer/songwriters of her generation. Much esteemed by her contemporaries, Polly has built a reputation as being an original and gifted voice.

George Klabin, President of Resonance Records, talks about his experience working with Polly on her release:

“Producing these recordings with Polly (both the CD and the live performances) could not have been a greater pleasure. In my career, spanning decades, I have worked with many gifted jazz vocalists, but never one with such a multiplicity of talents as Polly Gibbons.

She has a huge voice, impressive range, impeccable pitch, and an innate sense of rhythm. She can be daring, tender, sensitive, humorous, and always in the moment, while making every note sound effortless. Most of all, Polly touches the heart as she tells the story in each song, like all the great jazz singers do.

In addition, she is a joy to work with - a lovely, interesting, intelligent, funny, and very attractive young lady who is poised to make a major splash in the jazz world. 

The concept of Many Faces of Love is to present songs about various familiar aspects of love- and the song order takes you through 5 phases: Searching for Love, Finding Love, Losing Love, Trying to Reconnect, and finally, the Lessons Learned from the Search.

Here's hoping you enjoy this as much as we all did in putting it together!"

- George Klabin and the Staff at Resonance Records

"She's got a great voice!" - Van Morrison
