Revision as of 13:34, 10 March 2020
I don't care if I sing off key Ah, Simone Blake. Who doesn't love a good story of celebrity self-destruction, followed by a comeback? Simone burst into the public consciousness in 2011 with her self-titled debut album. Critics praised her crystal clear soprano, in particular the contrast between it and the grittier rock stylings it was overlaid on. Commercially, it was also a success, with two of the songs ("By the Water" and "Don't Wait Up") charting, along with the album itself. Then things started to go bad. There were rumors of an affair, a breakup, and drug use. Tabloids loved it, and just a few years after her hit debut, the main thing she was known for was stumbling drunkenly down the red carpet, vomiting in the street at 9 AM, and pissing herself during a show. In 2015, in the midst of this, she released a second album, "Because It's There." It was absolutely terrible, with lazy songwriting and raspy singing. Her label dropped her, and she slinked off to Prospect. And then, in mid-2018, she released a new album. "Siren Song" debuted to positive critical and listener reviews, with Rolling Stone calling it "a layered and eclectic meditation on addiction and its aftermath." Like her first album, it charted, along with two singles ("Key to My Heart" and "After the Storm"). Although she's popped up in the tabloids here and there, mostly for allegedly cheating on her city councilman boyfriend, she seems to actually be doing well and staying clean this time. |
