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.

About the artist

Abbey Lincoln

Abbey Lincoln may not be a household name, but in the world of jazz, she's a force to be reckoned with. With a career spanning over five decades, this sultry singer and songwriter has captivated audiences with her soul-stirring vocals and poignant lyrics. Born in Chicago in 1930, Lincoln cut her teeth in the New York jazz scene in the 1950s, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Miles Davis and Max Roach. Her distinctive voice, tinged with a subtle rasp and a hint of melancholy, sets her apart from her contemporaries. Throughout her career, Lincoln has released over 20 albums, each one a masterclass in storytelling and emotional depth. From the smoky balladry of "That's Him" to the fiery soul of "Straight Ahead," she effortlessly navigates a range of musical styles, always staying true to her roots in the blues and gospel. Not content to rest on her laurels, Lincoln has also dabbled in acting, appearing in films such as "Nothing But a Man" and "For Love of Ivy." But it's on the stage, in front of a live audience, where she truly shines. With her commanding presence and electrifying energy, she's a performer who demands attention and respect. So next time you're looking for some soul-stirring, heart-wrenching jazz to soundtrack your late-night musings, look no further than Abbey Lincoln. She may not be topping the charts, but her music is timeless, transcendent, and oh-so-satisfying.
