Carmel - Bad Day
Review by Helene Dee Howard-Everett
Carmel's album Bad Day is a soulful and introspective journey through the ups and downs of life. The title track, "Bad Day," is a standout with its haunting melody and lyrics that capture the feeling of being stuck in a rut. Carmel's voice is powerful and emotive, carrying the weight of the song's message with ease.
The album's other tracks are equally impressive, showcasing Carmel's versatility as an artist. "More More More" is a funky, upbeat number that will get listeners on their feet, while "Tracks of My Tears" is a beautiful, stripped-down ballad that highlights Carmel's vocal range.

About Carmel
For the british group around take please{;}British jazz / soul group formed in Manchester, in the early 1980s by singer-songwriter with and drummer (Paris' cousin).
Their debut single, "Storm" reached No. 1 in the UK independent chart and Carmel was signed immediately to London Records. Their second album The Drum is Everything (produced by Mike Thorne) drew some praise. Parris and Darby conjured the effect of a full ensemble backing to McCourt's vocals, and alternated between soulful ballads, gospel, blues and jazz. The resulting singles "Bad Day" and "More, More, More" both went Top 25 in the UK Singles Chart. The following album, The Falling (produced by Brian Eno, Hugh Jones and David Motion) made Carmel moderately successful in France, achieving gold disc status, as well as charting in Belgium, Germany and The Netherlands. Carmel had a hit in France with "J'oublierai ton nom
