'Duet with Morrissey? No thanks, he can't sing', claims singer-songwriter Risa Hall - Mancunian Matters
by Olivia Buckley
Manchester icon Morrissey doesn't have a stitch on the so-good-it's-'crazy' Gallagher brothers, according to singer-songwriter Risa Hall.
Excerpt:
Self-proclaimed 'adopted Mancunian' Risa admits not all of the city's musical exports quite live up to her standards, and would choose to collaborate with the 'unique' Oasis brothers over former-Smith's frontman Morrissey.
Originally from New York, Risa, who moved to the city in the same year The Smiths formed, admits to being less than impressed by the vocal talents of one of Manchester's most iconic, if not miserable, musicians.
Risa said: “If I could collaborate with any Manchester artist it would be the Gallaghers, it has to be the Gallaghers right? They have such unique voices and their songs are just such good songs, like they manage to get so much into just three minutes of a song it’s crazy.
“It definitely wouldn’t be Morrissey, I’m gonna get killed now [laughs] but yes seriously, his lyrics are really good but his voice isn’t up there and I’m all about the vocals.”
Luckily for her, Morrissey wasn't free for a collaboration...
