Editorial Reviews

Boasting a voice described by The Chicago Tribune as "sweet, smart, sassy and full of soul," songstress Capathia Jenkins has originated roles in Broadway's Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me, Caroline or Change, The Civil War and The Look of Love, and received a Drama Desk nomination for her solo performance in (mis)Understanding Mammy: The Hattie McDaniel Story. Now, on her debut album for PS Classics, ONE OUNCE OF TRUTH, she joins forces with acclaimed songwriter Louis Rosen in a collection showcasing the work of renowned poet Nikki Giovanni. Jenkins' sultry, soaring and heartfelt performances blend with Rosen's music – alternately delicate and exultant, and always highly melodic – in exploring those most universal of human experiences: friendship, lust, love and loss. It’s a jazzy, lush and memorable collection.
