Magness reaches heights only hinted at in her previous recordings, interpreting new material written especially for her and songs from Little Milton, Tina Turner, Bill Withers, Al Green, Candi Staton, Dorothy Moore, and Marvin Gaye. Her impassioned singing takes each song from deep within her being and projects it out directly into the heart and soul of her audience, making What Love Will Do essential listening for blues, roots, rock and soul music lovers everywhere. Album Description: Alligator Records is proud and pleased to announce the signing of blues, soul and R&B vocalist Janiva Magness. A 30-year veteran of the music scene, Magness has a soulful, husky voice and absolute command over her material. Winner of the 2006 and 2007 Blues Music Awards for Best Contemporary Female Artist Of The Year, Magness' steady ascension to the top of the blues world will undoubtedly continue its upward trajectory. 'When saucy blues singer Janiva Magness delivers a song, you're convinced. She blurs the lines between blues and soul, singing with elegance and authority.'--L.A. Times. Per Alligator president Bruce Iglauer, signing Magness was a natural move for the label.'I've been watching Janiva over the last few years and seeing her mature into a major artist.' Average Rating:
 Rating: - VERY FINE BLUESI was not really familiar with her music befor purchasing the CD, but I enjoyed it and glad I sprang for the CD. She does not look like a blues singer, but is a very good one. Rating:  - Sultry and SoulfulThis lady has a style similar to Amy Winehouse only without the drugs. She has a unique voice great lyrics and excellent backup music. She definiely grabs your attention and keeps you intriqued. Rating: - AAA Rating - Absolutely Awesome Album!No wonder Janiva has repeated as Female Blues Artist of the Year! From start to finish this album is absolutely incredible. Janiva pours her heart into every note and it is a moving experience to listen to. I recently saw Janiva with her terrific band at the Rythym Room in Phoenix. She is a great performer - very personable, totally positive, and so comfortable in her own skin. Not only is Janiva a great performer, but she is also a wonderful role model! Rating: - Amazing!This is her best CD yet, every song is soooo goood! Janiva has a unique and beautiful voice, seems to get better with age. I highly recommend this CD for all blues lovers, and those who just love music. She is not female blues artist of year for nothing! Also a great performer, be sure to catch her show when she is in your area. |
