“GRACE AT WORK”

October 10, 2017

Two weeks ago I published a post called, “Shhhh! Genius At Work! (unearthing her GRACE)”.

It is about Lizz Wright’s new CD, “GRACE“, which she recently shared with the world!

For this CD she chose to sing all covers, with the exception of the last song on the CD, a song called “All The Way Here”.

So I’ve been listening to “Grace”, repeatedly, since it came out. I never tire of listening to anything she sings. One of the reasons for that, is because Lizz always does things mindfully and purposely. I believe she doesn’t just pick songs to fill the space. She picks each one for a specific purpose and reason.

Blue Rose: The Mystery Revealed….

October 2, 2017

MORNING GLORY

Lizz wrote a song called “Blue Rose“, with Kenny Banks. It’s on her first CD, titled, “Salt”.

The lyrics are poetic and the song is beautiful and it got my attention right away. One time I heard Lizz mention, in an interview, that “morning glory” was her baby name that her parents called her. Also she added a photo of a blue morning glory on her Facebook page a couple of times.

I was curious about the song so I studied the words to figure out what it means but I had as many questions as I had answers. So I google-ized (I know that’s not a word!!) anything related to blue rose and (blue) morning glory.

Shhhh! Genius At Work! (unearthing her GRACE)

September 24, 2017

I don’t say that facetiously, even in the slightest. I mean it sincerely. She is a musical genius and she has done it again, for the 6th time, with “Grace” and dignity. I love all her albums equally.

SWEET RELEASE

Lizz just kicked off a tour, starting in New York, to promote and celebrate the release of her new CD, “GRACE”, her 6th album. And what a s-w-e-e-t release it is.

((Click on the link above (go for the gold!), and follow the directions to listen to her new CD. There is also a great review of Lizz by Jewly Hight on the same page if you want to know more about Lizz.))

From the interesting and varied selection of songs she chose for the new CD, to the oh-so unique and authentic way of singing that only she can render with such dignity, power and grace, she continues to mesmerize me and make me weak-in-the-knee, for sure.

I love the places she takes me with her music. The physical, mental and spiritual places. Her music penetrates my sensibility and permeates my soul.

Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation

August 28, 2017

I have been a huge fan of Lizz Wright for the past three years and have travelled to see and hear her sing as often as I could. It gives me great pleasure. I admire her and her music.

She offers her talents and gifts to create great musical productions in collaboration with others.

Lizz is socially conscious and lives her own life, in the present, with purpose and meaning. If she takes part in something, you know it will be a worthwhile and an important project or cause.

So, last week, when she announced on her FB page:

“I am dedicated to lifting up the importance of Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation, and I’ll be performing in Chicago this Saturday at the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts, to honor those who have been devoted to this cause”…….

…….I knew immediately that I wanted to be there to experience it.
