Sonya Kitchell: This Storm

Less than a minute into the first track of Sonya Kitchell‘s new album, This Storm, and I was hooked. With her debut, Words Came Back to Me, popping up in every Starbucks across American two years ago, Kitchell became a fixture on the late night circuit, CNN, and NPR. This year the 19-year-old phenom singer gets to tour with one of jazz’s most veteran: Herbie Hancock. The duo will sing songs from Hancock’s latest Grammy-winning album, The Joni Letters, while Kitchell will headline her own tour in support of This Storm (out September 3). Listen to the track, “For Every Drop”, right here.
