 JENNIFER HOLLIDAY - THE SONG IS YOU
Renowned R&B, Jazz and Broadway chanteuse Jennifer Holliday, who created and defined the role of Effie "Melody" White in the smash hit musical Dreamgirls, is set to release her first studio effort in 23 years! Over the years, Holliday has made waves as a singer and actress, as well as scoring Tony and Grammy Awards, performing at the White House multiple times and collaborating with a plethora of greats such as Barbra Streisand, Paul Simon, Michael Jackson, Luther Vandross and more. Now, Holliday is set to unveil her master work, The Song Is You, on January 21, 2014 on Shanachie Entertainment. The album, titled after Holliday's rendering of a Jazz Standard made famous by Frank Sinatra, is the consummate example of passion, class, and musical excellence. Featuring Jennifer's soaring, emotive vocals cascading over lush horns and strings, The Song Is You navigates through a tasteful selection of Jazz, Broadway and R&B standards, as well as some lesser-known but equally beautiful numbers. Having won legions of fans throughout her illustrious career, Jennifer Holliday is poised to make her indelible mark on the music world once more. |
