Wellington singer becomes label-mate to Norah Jones.
On the eve of the release of her much anticipated debut solo album “Long Player” on EMI, Wellington’s soulful Hollie Smith signs to the prestigious Manhattan Records label in New York, a boutique pop label within the legendary Blue Note group, home to Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Thelonious Monk, Cassandra Wilson and Norah Jones.
“You can hear that voice and you can hear the songs and you know right
away- this is somebody very special.”
Some people write lists of them. Others program their mobile phones. Hollie Smith has recorded an album of reminders.
Possibly best known for her own soulful 2005 EP and for her emotionally resonant vocals on the Don McGlashan penned 2006 chart dominating single from the acclaimed feature film No. 2, ‘Bathe In The River’, the talented local musician is now ready to release her solo album, Long Player.

Sensitive to a Smile is breathtaking. I went to Brazil to volunteer with kids in a favela and I come home and hear this song... perfect. Hollie - high five! hhahaha.. but seriously!
Okay, here goes. The deliberateness of 'Can't ....' and the anticipation of the next note is stunning. The words are profound at the least. Question is: are U coming stateside anytime soon? The YouTube accompaniment had me pining for more.
