When Gilles Peterson describes someone as “the Grace Jones of jazz”, you sit up & pay attention.

He’s not wrong – the LA-based artist’s debut has the vigour, power, & lustre of that comparison, coated in a smoky jazz-noir sheen that feels fresh & heady. This emotional rollercoaster takes the listener across familiar subject matters that range from heartache & pain to all- consuming lust. And familiar it should well be. The tracks here are, in the main part, sparse reworkings of pieces from 60 years back, previously performed by the likes of Nina Simone, Sam Cooke, & Irma Thomas but gifted a wholly new beating heart by Lady Blackbird’s honest & adventurous spirit.
