The third full-length and Atlantic Records debut from Shaina Taub, Songs of the Great Hill came to life over the course of countless daily trips to the enchanted spot of its title. In the bleakest days of lockdown, the New York City-based singer/songwriter would head to the North Woods of Central Park with notebook in hand, then set to work on the incandescent batch of songs that now comprise the album.
“It felt very much like a metaphor for the time we were all living through—trying to trudge up this great big hill with some sense of grace, looking for some kind of hope in all the dread and isolation,” recalls Taub, also a multi-award-winning composer and actor in musical theater. “After a while, it felt like I was writing into existence all the songs I needed to hear.”
Produced by 3X GRAMMY nominee Josh Kaufman (The National, Bonny Light Horseman, The Hold Steady), Songs of the Great Hill fully channels the tension of the current moment while bearing a certain charmed quality that defies time and circumstance. With its graceful coalescence of social commentary and self-reflection, the album endlessly spotlights the radiant vocal work Taub has brought to such eclectic endeavors as starring in the original Off-Broadway casts of iconic shows like Hadestown, the Signature Theatre’s hit production Old Hats, and her own critically lauded original musical adaptations of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and As You Like It (both of which were staged at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park).
