Early raves have begun to roll in for Sonya Kitchell's latest 'This Storm', out September 2nd, 2008 on Decca/Velour.
Check out Paste magazine's glowing review below:
"Kitchell established herself as a breakout artist at age 15, when she recorded the album 'Words Came Back to Me' and found herself performing on TV talk shows, notching respectable sales and collecting many a glowing review. Now 19 years old, the Massachusetts-bred singer/songwriter is back with 'This Storm', an accomplished effort that combines folk's searching sentiments with pure pop bliss. Producer Malcolm Burn (Emmylou Harris) wisely keeps the emphasis on Kitchell's voice, a smoky, expressive instrument that she deploys confidently and with preternatural restraint. Her subtlety adds intrigue to rock-infused cuts like "For Every Drop" (even when she lets loose, there's the suggestion that she's holding something back), but Kitchell is at her most devastating as a balladeer. On the gorgeous "So Lonely," her vocals are so high in the mix and her delivery is so delicate that she could be confiding in your ear."
Kitchell is preparing to launch a headlining tour backed by indie-rockers The Slip. The 31-date tour kicks off September 24, 2008 at Higher Ground in Burlington, Vermont.
The tour comes on the heels of a globe-trotting trek as a featured vocalist in Herbie Hancock's band. You can see Sonya's beautiful photos documenting the tour at Sonya Kitchell's blog.
