Dorland Music and the Radisson Hotel Sudbury are delighted to announce a vibrant night of music featuring vivacious vocalist, Denielle Bassels. Denielle provides a rousing musical journey that will satisfy the audience.
Toronto-born indie swing sensation and 2024 JUNO Nominee Denielle Bassels has quickly become a standout voice in the music world, captivating audiences with her magnetic fusion of jazz manouche, blues, folk, and pop. Recently lauded by Lesley Mitchell-Clark of Wholenote Magazine as "one of the most intriguing jazz/pop singer-songwriters on the current scene," Denielle’s artistry is marked by her uniquely evocative voice—one that effortlessly bridges the timeless elegance of Ella Fitzgerald with the intimate soulfulness of Norah Jones. Each note she sings delivers emotional resonance, leaving audiences deeply moved and yearning for more.
With a vocal range that shifts seamlessly from sweet, vintage Doris Day-esque melodies to the raw, electrifying power of Big Mama Thornton, Denielle’s versatility and dynamic stage presence are nothing short of mesmerizing. Her ability to weave compelling narratives through song transforms every performance into a journey, with her natural storytelling flair leaving a lasting impression. As described by Lenny Stout, "She lit up the joint like a six-alarm blaze," an apt testament to the fiery energy and charm she brings to the stage.
Denielle’s highly anticipated album, It Goes Like This, is a captivating blend of film noir aesthetics and steampunk-inspired jazz. Set to release in February 2025, the album promises to whisk listeners away on an extraordinary adventure through tales of magic, love, and daring exploits. Think Ella Fitzgerald meets 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea—a bold and imaginative fusion that showcases Denielle’s innovative spirit. Preceding the full album, three singles will be released, offering a tantalizing glimpse into this sonic world of intrigue and enchantment.
