Lost Soul the latest single from the album ‘Lost’ by Collette Cooper released by Thelonious Punk Records.
All proceeds will be donated to Nordoff Robbins, the UK’s largest independent music therapy charity. Collette Cooper sources inspiration from artists such as Bessie Smith and Sister Rosetta Tharpe, to Nina Simone, Billie Holiday and Kurt Weill, she’s been described as ‘Janis Joplin channelling Edith Piaf.’ Cooper herself has faced a number of extreme challenges throughout her life, from becoming homeless to losing her father.
Collette says: ‘I’m proud to be an ambassador for NR and all their great work that they do and feel music therapy is so important in helping not only for those with a life-limiting disability but in today’s uncertain times, it’s a saviour for a lot of people.’
Hannah Sheedy, Director of Fundraising and Marcomms says: “At Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy, we believe that music brings us closer together. It can be made and enjoyed by anyone, and at times like this, the connectivity that music brings is more important than ever. We’re delighted to have the support of Collette who will be donating all proceeds from her wonderful album ‘Lost’ to help fund our music therapy. As we do not receive any direct government funding, Collette’s kindness will enable the charity to continue to enrich people’s lives with music therapy, supporting some of the most vulnerable and isolated members of our communities who have been significantly affected by this crisis.
