Louisa Gabrielle Bobb

Louisa Gabrielle Bobb started her career in 1993 with her first single „Dreams“ which topped the charts worldwide. She later released such successful singles as "Going Nowhere", "Give Me A Little More Time", "Walk on By" and "If You Ever" – a duet with the band East 17. The artist’s comeback in 2000 with “Rise“ topped the UK Singles Chart, while the album with the same name managed to stay at the top of the UK Album Chart for three weeks. The coauthor of the song “Rise” was Bob Dylan, and the song used part of Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”.
Not long after, the artist released a melancholic ballad “Out of Reach” as a soundtrack to the film “Bridget Jones’s Diary” and the collection of greatest hits “Dreams Can Come True, Greatest Hits Vol. 1”. After a long break and six years after recording the last album, she released last year the album “Now and Always: 20 Years of Dreaming”, a compilation album in memoriam of her first single and the hit “Dreams”, released 20 years ago. Prior to that, the singer announced her retirement (her official website was even shut down!), however, a meeting with producers at Syience (Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige) and Naughty Boy (Emelie Sandé) brought her back to the recording studio.
Her latest, sixth, studio album is comprised of two discs with 34 songs, of which seven are completely new, including the single “Say Goodbye”.
The greatest hits of this charismatic British pop diva are just part of the amazing music story of Rovinj Night.
