Grammy winning soul singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Judith Hill will be promoting her excellent ‘Baby, I’m Hollywood!’ album with an extensive run of European dates commencing October 8th in Stockholm. The dates include a highly anticipated show at London’s Jazz Café on October 21st. Judith Hill has a resume that would be the envy of any artist having worked with Prince, who co-produced her debut album 'Back In Time', Michael Jackson, Spike Lee and George Benson, toured with Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Ringo Starr, and was an official tour opener for John Legend and Josh Groban. More about Judith Hill and those all important tour dates follow:
'Baby, I’m Hollywood!' is a vibrant, defiant personal statement, and a thorough excursion into the annals of Black music past, present and future. Rich in throwback soul, stunning piano balladry and swaggering psychedelic funk, the self-produced record finds Hill liberated, focused and reborn. Bolstered by a spirited live band and her new attitude, she ruminates on pleasure, pain, celebration and consequences, all of which inform this collection of finely-crafted stories-in-song.
Unable to perform an album release show due to the pandemic, Hill created the 'Baby, I’m Hollywood! Album Release Special'. In it, she breaks down the record song by song, discussing her writing and recording process, motivations etc.
“I wanted to personify Hollywood as a woman who’s a survivor, I’ve been through so many peaks and valleys in my career to date, and the show must go on. The message is being persistent, bringing all of your pain and your story to the stage”
