A debut album filled with overwhelming vocals and gospel spirit.
Jennifer Holliday, known for her role in the Broadway musical "Dreamgirls," releases her debut album with powerful vocals that fuse soul and R&B with a gospel-based sound.
Jennifer Holliday's vocals, originally from a gospel background, are a veritable explosion of soul. "I Am Love" features a sweeping vocal power and a magnificent arrangement, while "This Day" showcases a delicate, prayerful delivery. Produced by Maurice White, the album is enveloped in an earthy funk groove, blending the glamour of early '80s R&B with a spiritual fervor. This one-of-a-kind album, blending Broadway drama with the passion of Black music, marks the beginning of her defining expressive power.
