China Bowls

China Bowls is the name used by singer-songwriter Lucie Bowles, who sings a soft form of jazz that draws quite generously from R&B and mixes it with plenty of pop, following along the path that artists like Lianne La Havas pursued before her. That particular tone and style is clearly a crucial part of her musical lineage, though Bowles tends to be pushing a little harder in a jazzy direction at the moment. Originally a product of the Bristol music scene, she has some of those laid back, cool grooves weaving in and out of her songs. She also brings a level of lushness to her music with vocal layers and in some cases, a light brass section that brings in additional color. She has a lovely mist in her voice that fits right in with the kind of hybrid form she likes to work in.
