Rhiannon Giddens announces first solo LP in 6 years & tour (listen to “You’re The One”)
Rhiannon Giddens has announced her new album You're The One, out August 18 via Nonesuch (pre-order). It's her first solo LP in six years. The title (and heartfelt title track, out now) draws from a moment Rhiannon shared with her 10-year-old son shortly after he was born. Listen to "You're The One" below.
You're The One was produced by Jack Splash, and recorded at Criteria Studios in Miami. The sole feature comes from Jason Isbell. Of the album, Rhiannon says, "I hope that people just hear American music. Blues, jazz, Cajun, country, gospel, and rock—it's all there. I like to be where it meets organically. They're fun songs, and I wanted them to have as much of a chance as they could to reach people who might dig them but don't know anything about what I do. If they're introduced to me through this record, they might go listen to other music I've made and make some new discoveries.” Check out the artwork and tracklist for You're The One below.
Rhiannon also announced a headlining tour today, with stops in Nashville, Chicago, Toronto, Philadelphia, Richmond, Berkeley, New York, Los Angeles, and more. Support on the road comes from Francesco Turrisi, Christian McBride, Dirk Powell & Justin Robinson, Adia Victoria, Charly Lowry, and The Legendary Ingramettes on various dates. Tickets go on sale May 19 at 10am.
The tour comes to NYC on March 16, 2024, at Beacon Theatre. All dates below.
