Music in Focus: Samara Joy’s ‘Warm in December’

Samara Joy, nominee for Best New Artist at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards is back for the festive season with her new single “Warm in December.” Her version of this jazz standard once again illustrates the range of her talents, and comes off the back of her Verve Records debut album, Linger Awhile.

Linger Awhile is one of my favorite albums for the year. Her voice, rightfully described as rich and velvety yet precociously refined, is exhibited unquestionably with her track ‘Guess Who I Saw Today, She has already earned the following of the great Anita Baker and actress Regina King, to name a few.  “Warm in December,” features Sullivan Fortner (piano), David Wong (double bass), and Kenny Washington (drums) The record is Produced by Matt Pierson and Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Christopher Allen at Sear Sound, NYC.
