Jazz chanteuse Cecile McLorin Salvant is a rare talent indeed. Not only can she hold her own in comparisons to Fitzgerald, Holiday and Vaughan, she started garnering those comparisons while in her early twenties. WomanChild, Salvant's second album, is a glorious display of just what it means to be not only a top notch vocalist but a writer and interpreter of song from the very depths of one's soul. Whether you're new to Salvant's immense talent or are catching up on her catalog, WomanChild is arresting from the very first note sung to her last.
