Judith Hill - Letters From A Black Widow - VINYL LP

In a society defined by our greatest and worst moments, out of chaos comes Letters from a Black Widow - a definitive statement of perseverance and liberation from Grammy-winning singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Judith Hill. The album's 12 songs masterfully reveal themes she'd explored only in therapy and nightmares. Stories of resistance, hard-won clarity and redemption are delivered through an unshakable soul, funk and blues foundation that resonates with a defiant, beautiful power.

In this music, border crossings become audible to me from baroque to contemporary music, from music to religion, from the secular to the divine. That is why it is also about life and death, resurrection, enlightenment and remembrance - as in Bach's Chaconne in memory of his first wife Maria Barbara Bach. With these words, pianist Alexandra Sostmann describes her album Grenzgänge on PROSPERO, co-produced with Bayerischer Rundfunk, which cleverly combines music by Bach, Pachelbel and Frescobaldi with works by Ligeti and Pärt to create a fascinating musical journey from the beginnings of music for keyboard instruments to the composers of our day.

Successful artists share their inner worlds with us, and whether we realize it consciously or unconsciously, their art enables US to experience deeper glimpses into our own daily lives... Great music emanates from this private psychic space within the composer, and inspires US to explore our own inner worlds, if we let it. Taking this journey with David S. Lefkowitz has enriched my inner world, as I hope it does yours.Inch -Martin Perlich.
