With Her Latest Album, Jazz And R&B Vocalist Lizz Wright Learns To Surrender
Resume
The jazz and R&B singer Lizz Wright has a new album, and it's all about starting over. It's called "Freedom and Surrender."
The album is her first in several years. "Freedom and Surrender" is a statement from a 30-something artist coming to terms with this stage of her life — with a new record label — she was dropped by her old one — a failed a marriage and a near-death experience.
She told us the album is all about that "circuitous dance of love."
Lizz Wright will be at the Berklee Performance Center Saturday.
