JANIVA MAGNESS "ORIGINAL"
Janiva pushes the roots, rock, and soul envelope with daring new album Original. Magness brings her songwriting skills and stunning range to the fore, with help from Grammy nominated producer Dave Darling. The new album stretches the artistic boundaries of roots, rock and soul music. Its 11 songs seamlessly weave all three genres into a highly original approach defined by nakedly honest storytelling and the live-wire emotionalism of Magness’ two-and-a-half octave range, buoyed by arrangements that effortlessly blend traditional sounds with the edge of experimentation.
Magness is among the premier blues and R&B singers in the world
today. Her voice possesses an earthy, raw honesty born from her life
experience. A charismatic performer known for her electrifying live
shows, Magness is a gutsy and dynamic musical powerhouse. She received
the coveted 2009 Blues Music Award for B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year
(she is only the second woman to ever win this award, Koko Taylor being
the first). She also won Contemporary Blues Female Artist Of The Year,
an honor she also received in 2006 and 2007. She has received a total of
seventeen Blues Music Award nominations, including one for 2012’s
Contemporary Blues Female Artist Of The Year. USA Today declared,
“Magness is a blues star,” and The Philadelphia Inquirer said, “Magness
sings superbly, with a scorching intensity. JANIVA MAGNESS
