Jully Black - Revival

Black is a survivor—and one gutsy diva. Born in Toronto’s tough Jane and Finch ’hood, the r&b singer got her start lending her gritty, soulful vocals to tracks by various T-dot hip-hop artists before making her debut with the big, bold This is Me. Black’s second album proves she has the songwriting chops to match her powerful alto. Along with “Seven Day Fool,” a ballsy remake of the Etta James classic, it features Black singing her ass off on a collection of first-rate original ballads and rugged dancefloor scorchers alike.
