Stepping into Marguerite D’Alvarez for the upcoming Bessie Smith film
I didn’t expect how much of her I would carry with me.
Returning to opera. to that part of my voice, and yes… that’s me singing O Patria Mia, yes it felt like a quiet homecoming.
Some rooms… you don’t announce. You’re simply invited into them.
Thank you
@cassigers for trusting me with her… truly. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to help keep her voice alive while helping to shed light on how brave Bessie was for stepping outta the box with the Blues.
@craigjsnider as Ivor Newton felt so right. The world you created around O Patria Mia… I simply stepped into it and let her voice find me.
We’ve been traveling the world, sharing our music for the past three years… and it’s only been a month since Retro in Real Time came into the world.
A God wink.
Eric…
@theblackbanker none of this happens without you! Thank you for it all ♥️
