“Eight tracks guaranteed to not only impress, but change the way we listen to modern vocal jazz.”

- VIBE Magazine

“[On Portrait] the singer’s dazzlingly rich and expressive delivery remains the star attraction.”

- The New York Times, Fall Arts Preview

"Not only is Portrait a stunningly enjoyable and musically savvy work, it is also a monumental step forward as an artist for Joy, who co-produced the record, as well as was responsible in some way for arrangements, writing, even the artwork, on the genius work."

- Forbes

“Joy excels at rebooting jazz standards with tight new arrangements and dreamy, conversational lyrics.”

- T Magazine

“The Grammy-winning vocalist expands her horizons on new album Portrait... the Bronx native steps forward with her own thoughts, her own emotions, and to that end, three Portrait songs feature her words.”

- SPIN Magazine

“Portrait sees the rising jazz star stepping up into the role of co-producer… as well as expanding her singing and songwriting skills into arrangements and leading her touring band.”

- GRAMMY.com

 

Η 3 φορές βραβευμένη με Grammy vocalist Samara Joy, μετά το επιτυχημένο “Linger Awhile”, κυκλοφορεί το νέο της άλμπουμ με τίτλο “Portrait”.

Το “Portrait” αποτελείται από 8 κομμάτια με την Samara Joy & Brian Lynch στην παραγωγή αυτών.

“A well of inspiration that never runs dry because of the different streams that flow in, constantly pouring into the main source. That’s what comes to mind when I think of this project and the musicians who created it with me,” “Eight musicians, eight fresh perspectives and musical backgrounds - all joined together in a context designed for growth and exploration. Designed to put our pens and minds to work creating music inspired by many but still uniquely our own. Because of the incredible depth of musicianship and creativity infused into the sound of this band, I’m honored to be able to present Portrait, shaped after a year of development and revision on the road.” – Samara Joy

About Samara Joy

A native of the Bronx, Samara Joy became entranced by classic R&B as a child and cut her teeth as a singer in her church’s gospel choir. And while her family history is deeply musical — her grandparents helmed the Philadelphia gospel group the Savettes, and her father, the musician and songwriter Antonio McLendon, has produced, composed and arranged his own astounding original work — she didn’t delve into the jazz tradition until college at SUNY Purchase. During her studies there she won the 2019 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition, which introduced her to the larger jazz scene as a rising star to watch. She was heard, by audiences and critics alike, as a masterful interpreter of jazz standards and a rightful heiress of the sound, technique and charisma that defined her jazz heroines — including Vaughan, Betty Carter, Abbey Lincoln and Carmen McRae.

 

Joy released her self-titled debut on the Whirlwind label in 2021, followed a year later by Linger Awhile, her breakout Verve debut, of which DownBeat said, “With this beautiful recording, a silky-voiced star is born.” The album earned her a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album in addition to a headline-making win for Best New Artist. A deluxe edition of the album was released, as well as the EP A Joyful Holiday. Her new Verve album, Portrait, which Joy co-produced with the veteran trumpeter/bandleader and multi-Grammy winner Brian Lynch, showcases the intimate, soulful chemistry she’s developed with her touring band. Portrait also spotlights her burgeoning gifts as a lyricist, in ingenious arrangements that meld her thoughtful words with music by Charles Mingus, Sun Ra and her late mentor Barry Harris.
