NEWS - JUDITH HILL : 'Flame' - new single by Grammy-winning US singer & musician fuses funk, rock, blues & soul

included on LETTERS FROM A BLACK WIDOW new album out 19.04.24

'Letters From A Black Widow' is the follow-up to 'Baby, I'm Hollywood!' (2021), which earned widespread critical acclaim for its mix of funk, rock, blues and soul that was described by Record Collector as 'breathtakingly kaleidoscopic', while Echoes proclaimed it 'Album of the Year' in a 5 star review. However, where that album offered a rowdy coming-of-age tale of a mixed-race child of bohemian California, 'Letters From A Black Widow' is a formidable battle cry; a soul/funk/gospel passion play spectacularly written, arranged and performed by Hill.

Although Hill plays many of the instruments herself, the new record is not a strictly solo endeavour. Built on an unshakeable musical foundation she has enjoyed for most of her life, Hill's band includes both her parents, bassist Robert 'Peewee' Hill and keyboardist Michiko Hill, while she is also joined by John Staten (drums and percussion), Daniel Chae (strings) and a group of friends on backing vocals.
