Lisa Stansfield

Lisa Stansfield is one of those voices I'd put up against almost anyone from her era. A Manchester singer who won Search for a Star as a teenager, then put in the unglamorous work with Blue Zone before breaking out solo, that gradual climb appeals to me far more than overnight fame. Her soul-leaning songwriting always felt genuine rather than fashionable, which is probably why it has aged so well. The tagline calling her American is plainly wrong, she's thoroughly English, and getting that right matters. I'd happily revisit her catalogue any day; the craft holds up decades later.
