Album Description
Nnenna Freelon’s voice is a reflection of life, filled with personal stories, deep emotion, and quiet wisdom. Since her 1992 debut on Columbia, the seven-time Grammy® nominee has used her unique perspective to tell familiar stories - from reimagining Billie Holiday to paying tribute to Stevie Wonder. On Beneath the Skin, she goes the extra step, reaching in to create heart-spoken songs, born from curiosity to more closely visit stories inhabiting her own life. With co-arranger and pianist, Alan Pasqua, Nnenna’s created her most personal musical statement to date. Freelon’s vocal artistry, rooted in tradition but always forward- thinking, has captivated audiences around the world, and Beneath the Skin is sure to do the same. “What Freelon is building is not just a castle of love, but an expanded repertoire for jazz singers…” - The Washington Post
