#42 | Yebba | Dawn
RCA | Buy via Apple Music

According to Patrick Corcoran: “If you judge the content of a person’s character by the company they keep, then Yebba is certainly worthy of high praise indeed. . . . Despite those guest slots, there is no doubting whose party it is though—Yebba’s voice dominates proceedings from beginning to end. Her wonderful elastic vocals stretch every which way to great effect, yet it never feels tricksy or boastful, as the moments when she reveals vocal runs are in service to the song and are, consequently, deeply moving. . . . The quality of contributors throughout is more than matched by the vocal performances and this results in an album of deep joy—one that underlines the value of a voice raised in the church and steeped in the vocal traditions of those that came before her.” [Read the Full Review]
