Last night (11/2/23) at the NOMA Warehouse, Spring Valley graduate Danielle Howle released her new album “Current.” The new album is classic Danielle: outhern to the bone with a refreshingly guileless approach and captivating vocal ability combined with her contagious energy, and seasoned songwriting skills.
“I wanted to be folk as f*ck, man,” Danielle says, adding, “I hope the music will inspire people to have a beautiful life. I hope my songs are their friends. I hope to make someone happy – for my music to be a blanket or a coat.”
Over the years, she’s been compared to Patsy Cline, Nina Simone, and author Flannery O’Connor. The New York Times called her “an extraordinary mind, a southern storyteller with a gorgeous sense of melody that should be pouring out of stereos everywhere,” and Newsweek wrote, “Howle sounds as soothing as Karen Carpenter, as graceful as k.d.lang and as Saturday-night worn as Patsy Cline.”
