Do It My Own Way is the newly released album from American singer-songwriter and saxophonist Vanessa Collier.
The 8-song collection is about maintaining independence in an industry that tends to put pressure on creatives. That commitment to stay true to oneself is evident in Collier’s music approach; her style is bluesy retro-soul characterized by sizzling horns.
Do It My Own Way was preceded by the singles “Take Me Back” and “Wild as a Rainstorm“. The album arrived with the fascinating focus track “Just One More”. All the songs are impressive, balancing great instrumentation with riveting storytelling.
Do It My Own Way is 30 minutes of a lively listening experience. I enjoyed it, and bet you will too. Listen via Spotify below, and remember to keep up with Vanessa Collier on Instagram or Facebook.
