Vanessa Collier
Singer/songwriter Vanessa Collier shared her sixth album, Do It My Own Way, last week, out via Phenix Fire Records. Recorded on analog gear with the musicians largely in one room, Do It My Own Way is sonically inspired by the classic Memphis soul sound of Stax and Hi Records, particularly that of the Staples Singers.

Today, Vanessa Collier dives deep into soul territory, sharing her second single, “Wild As a Rainstorm,” with a powerful message to ignore the naysayers and “Be a tapestry of dreams.” This groove-laden track, complete with horn arrangements reminiscent of Willie Mitchell’s iconic productions, features the legendary Hi Records organist Rev. Charles Hodges. Collier’s awe-inspiring and undeniably soulful vocals drive the song’s poignant message home.
