SHORTLIST 2025
Brooke Combe
— Dancing At The Edge Of The World

- Label: Modern Sky UK
- Released: 31 January 2025
Brooke Combe
Scottish soul singer Brooke Combe prefers the old-school approach to soul, with an emphasis on live recordings committed to a tape machine, which results in a more authentic sound. Hailing from Edinburgh, Combe emerged onto the scene with her debut single, 2021’s “Are You With Me?”. Initial buzz led to her signing with Island Records, and although she was almost finished writing her debut album, she ended up leaving the label after finding her experience too restrictive. Forging her own path, she found a home on Modern Sky, which gave her the creative space she needed. Dancing At The Edge Of The World saw release in 2025.
Dancing At The Edge Of The World
Collaborating with musician and producer James Skelly, best known as the frontman of The Coral, Brooke’s debut album, Dancing At The Edge Of The World is the perfect opening statement, showing a tantalising first look at the artist she will become. Redolent of those first offerings from Michael Kiwanuka and Corinne Bailey Rae, it revels in lush, orchestral arrangements, irresistible rhythms and a voice that could have come right out of Motown. Dancing At The Edge Of The World is a resounding, indisputable opening salvo from Britain’s newest and brightest star.
