New Album, Intuition: Songs From the Minds of Women, Coming in February 1, 2019
Resilience
Music Alliance has announced the addition of critically acclaimed and
versatile vocalist Alicia Olatuja to the label’s growing eclectic roster.
Praised by The New York Times as a “singer with a strong and luscious tone and
an amiably regal presence on stage,” Olatuja has conceived a truly unique
project that only a visionary artist like herself can execute: an album
dedicated to and featuring music all created by inspiring female composers.
“Alicia is
an incredibly talented singer, songwriter and musical interpreter who breaks
down traditional genre boundaries,” says Label Co-Founder and President Steve
Ruchefsky. “She has focused her attention for this project to interpret
compositions by a wide range of female composers – all of whom, almost by
definition, have shown incredible courage and resilience. We are excited to
begin this creative partnership with Alicia and realize her vision!”
The album,
titled Intuition: From the Minds of Women and to be released February 1, 2019,
celebrates the achievements of a long list of esteemed female composers while
offering a musical perspective unique to Olatuja. Olatuja is joined by Kamau
Kenyatta and Ulysses Owens Jr. as producers and features Sullivan Fortner,
Billy Childs, David Rosenthal, Ben Williams, Ulysses Owens Jr., Etienne
Charles, Jeremy Pelt, and Dayna Stephens.
The signing
of Alicia Olatuja reinforces the mission of Resilience Music Alliance, a label
that transcends genre and focuses on empowering artists exploring our
collective elemental condition of resilience while conceptualizing projects
that resonate with the human spirit.
"Now
could not be a better time to deliver a project that celebrates and champions
women and their work," says Olatuja. "The future is female and moving
forward as a society is dependent upon everyone being able to create and
contribute with courage and conviction, being heard and validated. I truly
appreciate that Resilience has given me the platform with which to express this
very meaningful project."
