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.

Vanessa Collier – the twelve-time Blues Music Award nominee (including for B.B. King Entertainer of the Year this year) and four-time winner, including for the monumental Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year, and award-winning songwriter, with recognition by The John Lennon Songwriting Competition and the International Songwriting Competition – today shared “Take Me Back,” the first single from her sixth album Do It My Own Way, out September 13 via Phenix Fire Records.
