Our Take

If I were to describe Abbey Lincoln's Four Classic Albums in one word, it would be captivating. From her soulful voice to her poignant lyrics, Lincoln effortlessly transports you to a world of love, loss, and everything in between.

First up, we have Abbey Is Blue, where Lincoln's vocals shine brighter than a disco ball on a Saturday night. The way she effortlessly glides through each track is nothing short of mesmerising. It's an album that demands your attention and refuses to let go.

Next, we have Straight Ahead, a more introspective offering from Lincoln. The stripped back production allows her raw talent to take center stage, and boy does she deliver. Each track is like a shot of espresso - intense, but oh so satisfying.

Moving on to That's Him!, we see Lincoln experimenting with different genres and styles, showcasing her versatility as an artist. From the hauntingly beautiful ballads to the upbeat jazz numbers, there's something for everyone on this album.

And finally, we have It's Magic, an album that truly lives up to its name. Lincoln's enchanting vocals paired with the lush arrangements make for a magical listening experience. It's like being whisked away on a cloud of pure bliss.

In conclusion, Abbey Lincoln's Four Classic Albums is a must-listen for any music lover. So do yourself a favour and dive into the world of Abbey Lincoln - you won't regret it. Trust me.
