Our Take

Shemekia Copeland's latest offering, "America's Child," is like a breath of fresh air in a stale room full of overproduced, auto-tuned pop nonsense. With her powerful, soulful vocals and infectious energy, Copeland effortlessly takes listeners on a journey through the heart of American music.

From the rousing opening track "Ain't Got Time For Hate" to the hauntingly beautiful ballad "Would You Take My Blood?", Copeland proves that she is a force to be reckoned with in the blues and roots music scene. Her raw, honest lyrics cut straight to the bone, leaving no room for pretence or artifice.

The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal line crystal clear and perfectly balanced. Copeland's band provides a solid foundation for her vocals to soar, adding depth and dynamism to each track.

Standout tracks include the rollicking "The Wrong Idea," the soulful "Promised Myself," and the infectious title track "America's Child." Each song showcases Copeland's incredible range and versatility, solidifying her status as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary blues music.

Overall, "America's Child" is a triumph for Shemekia Copeland, showcasing her immense talent and passion for her craft. If you're a fan of authentic, soul-stirring music, this album is a must-listen. Copeland is a true gem in the music industry, and "America's Child" is further proof of her incredible talent and staying power.
