LOS ANGELES, July 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- From gracing off-Broadway stages and
captivating audiences at pop and jazz clubs in her native
Manhattan and Los Angeles to releasing critically acclaimed
independent jazz and pop albums, Susannah B has enjoyed an
impactful, genre-defying career.
On her latest album, the perfectly titled POV, the
veteran singer/songwriter offers fresh perspectives on some of her
favorite previously recorded original songs, including the recently
released lead singles "Talkin' to Myself," "Be All Right," "I Got
Lucky" and "Secrets & Lies."
Susannah complements those stirring originals with a beautiful
re-imagining of Billy Joel's
"Vienna" and a soulful,
contemporary take on "It's Alright to Cry" – a heartfelt song her
mother, renowned Broadway composer/lyricist Carol Hall, wrote for Free to Be…You and
Me, the 70's children's entertainment project created by
actress and author Marlo Thomas.
Hall was best known for composing music and lyrics for the iconic
Broadway musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
"It's Alright to Cry" is set for release July 31 – before the highly anticipated drop
of POV September 8.
POV will also include a mystical pop version of the final
single, "My Time Now," whose lyrics freshly resonate from the
perspective of a mother with grown children.
"I called the album POV because I'm now openly
celebrating my age, feeling blessed to stand in solidarity with
other late bloomers and to have enjoyed such a diverse career, with
time off in between phases to become a devoted mom," says Susannah,
who launched her recording career in the 2000s with Happy
Today (2003) and Let's Pretend (2008).
"As we age, we have different ways of looking at things, and a
song can mean something very different at various points in the
journey. The concept of POV also refers to the way different
people can experience the same thing, but their individual points
of view cause them to have different reactions to the shared
experience. That fascinates me, and I spend a lot of time thinking
about how I consciously choose to see the world. I think many of
humanity's problems would improve if we simply considered other
people's POVs and didn't expect everyone to see things the same way
we do."
POV is produced by Susannah and keyboardist Michael Farrell, best known for his work with
Alanis Morrisette, and Macy Gray. The other band members are also
veteran touring musicians with Morissette, including drummer
Victor Indrizzo (whose resume
includes Avril Lavigne and
Brandi Carlile), upright and
electric bassist Sean Hurley,
guitarist David Levita (Faith Hill & Tim
McGraw) and saxophonist Sal
Lozano. The bands' other collective credits include Beck,
Colbie Caillat, Kacey Musgraves, Sara
Bareilles, Lana Del Ray,
Shakira and Eminem.
