Rebecca Worthley
“I am quite entranced” Jeremy Vine, BBC Radio 2
Rebecca Worthley is immediately in the room.
Her second album, Morning Comes To Those Who Wait, opens starkly with a close, whispered vocal and simple banjo. Yet this is no folk album; the diversity of songs that follow tell you this girl is not short of imagination, nor afraid of experimentation.
The album bursts with a fresh take on the singer/songwriter genre. There is all the poetry of Joni Mitchell, the pathos of Damien Rice, the vocal depth of Kate Bush but there is something new here in the rich, unexpected pathways of Rebecca’s sound.

Rebecca Worthley’s career began when her first album, the product of ”messing around” in her friend’s bedroom studio, fell into the hands of
long-time advocate for new talent, Bob Harris. As well as playing her record on his BBC Radio 2 show, he also invited her in to play a live session.
Rebecca has since worked with a number of exciting producers, including Ivor-Novello Award winning Producer Mark Hill, Sean Genockey and Ruadhri Cushnan. The second album was primarily recorded, however, with friend and band member Simon Greenwood at SoundCanvas studios.
Rebecca is a fan of unusual instruments, from the music-box to the Tibetan singing bowl. The album also features resonator guitar played by virtuoso musician Phillip Henry, whose unique style makes the instrument sound like everything from an Indian Sitar to a deep full cello.
