Black Acid Soul (CD)
Lady Blackbird
Amoeba Review
Sure, it’s only January, but Lady Blackbird’s debut, Black Acid Soul, seems like a strong contender for album of the year. The LA-based singer’s voice conveys emotion with every note; there’s no paint-by-numbers, pop-radio-ready polish here. No, Lady Blackbird’s influences harken back to stronger stuff. Her voice might call to mind classic jazz singers like Nina Simone or Billie Holiday, while her backing musicians include Deon Johnson (Miles Davis’ pianist). Black Acid Soul is atmospheric, intoxicating, and timeless. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore—until, apparently, they do.
