JOANNA COOKE - SINGLE REVIEW

Joanna Cooke - How Deep Is Your Love? 

Release Date: 28th April 2023

I don't always get that excited by cover versions in the recorded form but when they're done right there is something special about them and boy is this one special. Plymouth based soul queen Joanna Cooke has dusted off the classic Bee Gees track 'How Deep Is Your Love?' and given it a shot in the arm to make it her very own. From the smoothly slathered organs and the tight little rhythm section to the sparse guitar and sprinkled melodies, this song transports to an intimate underground club full of red velvet and low lights. Then comes that voice which is unmistakably Joanna Cooke but if I was selling this to the uninitiated I would package this up as Joss Stone for the more discerning ear and with greater depth to the arrangement. For the initiated, however, this is Joanna Cooke doing what she does best and infusing everything she touches with soul, warmth and lashings of talent. Gorgeous.
