Our Take

Abbey Lincoln's "Abbey Is Blue" is a breath of fresh air in a time when jazz seems to be drowning in a sea of pretentiousness. The album is a vibrant mix of blues and soul, with Lincoln's powerful vocals taking center stage.

From the moment Abbey's voice hits your ears, you know you're in for a treat. Her raw, emotive delivery cuts through the slick production like a knife through butter. Tracks like "Afro Blue" and "The River" showcase Lincoln's incredible range and depth as a vocalist, while the sultry "Out of the Past" is a masterclass in storytelling through music.

The instrumentation on "Abbey Is Blue" is top-notch, with a stellar lineup of musicians backing up Lincoln every step of the way. The brass section is tight and punchy, the piano melodies are hauntingly beautiful, and the rhythm section lays down a solid foundation for Abbey to work her magic.

But what really sets this album apart is Abbey Lincoln herself. Her voice is like a warm hug on a cold day, wrapping you up in its embrace and refusing to let go. She sings with a passion and conviction that is impossible to ignore, drawing you in with every word she sings.

In a world full of cookie-cutter pop stars and manufactured hits, Abbey Lincoln's "Abbey Is Blue" is a refreshing reminder of the power of real, authentic music. So do yourself a favour and give this album a listen - you won't regret it.
