Wild Balloons

As the long-awaited sophomore release from the veteran soul and jazz vocalist, 'Wild Balloons' marks a significant sonic departure for Vanessa Haynes, widely known as a lead singer for the band Incognito. Arriving twenty years after her solo debut, the album pivots from her jazz-funk background to explore a sound rooted in blues, Americana, and country rock. The material, previewed in live performances, showcases rousing mid-tempo tracks and yearning ballads, all underpinned by Haynes' established soul and gospel vocal foundations.
