Since winning the Thelonious Monk competition in 2010, vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant has been blazing trails in jazz and art music, picking up multiple Grammys and a MacArthur Fellowship along the way. But after five critically acclaimed releases, Ghost Song (her new release and Nonesuch debut) immediately occupies a world of its own. A compact, cyclical, immersive suite of songs populated by distinct spiritual characters, Ghost Song bears all the signatures of a McLorin Salvant project—thoroughly considered, carefully rendered, and absolute in its cohesion—while also being marked by the assured confidence of a once-in-a-generation artist stepping fully into her potential.
