Nnenna Freelon's voice is a reflection of life, filled with personal stories, deep emotion, and quiet wisdom. Since her 1992 debut on Columbia, the seven-time Grammy nominee has used her unique perspective to tell familiar stories - from reimagining Billie Holiday to paying tribute to Stevie Wonder. On Beneath the Skin, she goes the extra step, reaching in to create heart-spoken songs, born from curiosity to more closely visit stories inhabiting her own life. With co-arranger and pianist, Alan Pasqua, Nnenna's created her most personal musical statement to date. Freelon's vocal artistry, rooted in tradition but always forward-thinking, has captivated audiences around the world, and Beneath the Skin is sure to do the same. "There's no doubt that Freelon has now positioned herself in the very top echelon of jazz vocalists" - The Los Angeles Times"What Freelon is building is not just a castle of love, but an expanded repertoire for jazz singers" - The Washington Post
