Artist: Janiva Magness Album: Original (2014) Janiva Magness journey has brought her to this masterpiece, a stunning set of 11 originals, seven co-written by Magness, that effortlessly combine her lifes musical influences into a truly original achievement. Her lifelong affinity with blues and soul music, now combined with a rootsy, songwriter rock provides Magness the palette to tell these stirring stories. Most women singers in the blues are classified as shouters or belters. Magness can belt with the best, but she also has a very unique ability to rise above that common style with a tone that delicately expresses nuance and warmth. Taken as a whole, the songs are a comprehensive record of personal heartbreaks and hopeful assertions. They build from the ache of loss to the strength and insights gained from experience.
