Lady Blackbird - Slang Spirituals

2024

Collaborating once again with Black Acid Soul producer Chris Seefried, the pair produce a second album that not only embodies the freewheeling, emotive Lady Blackbird sound, but that also taps into deeply vulnerable lyrics that recount the singer's challenging ascent to musical stardom. - In taking charge of her own life and her own sound, Lady Blackbird walks a new path, making each note on Slang Spirituals a step in a radically different direction. Across eleven tracks Lady Blackbird puts her sweeping, cinematic vocal power to use on everything from the soulful orchestral fanfares of "Let Not (Your Heart Be Troubled)" to the fingerpicking folk storytelling of "Man On A Boat," euphoric gospel empowerment of "Like A Woman" and the seven-minute psychedelic soul instrumental of "When The Game Is Played On You.
