“Lori Williams seamlessly moves from Jazz to R&B in ways the listener can feel at home with her in either genre. She has set the bar for vocalists to come.”
- Terri Lynne Carrington (3x Grammy-winning drummer/composer/producer)
Acclaimed jazz vocalist Lori Williams is turning a corner. In possession of a most impressive resume as a performing artist, educator, songwriter, producer, support vocalist and musical theater actress, her reputation and level of respect are top shelf and unimpeachable.
However, Washington, D.C.-native Lori is electing to let her hair down to pursue a more relaxed passion path in the realms of the Quiet Storm and R&B-leaning Soul-Jazz. Kicking off this current (and surely to evolve) direction is a special double-A sided single “I Like the Way You Talk to Me” (which she co-wrote with prolific contemporary jazz producer/keyboardist Bob Baldwin) banded with a tasty remix edit of her recent cover of the Isaac Hayes gem “Déjà vu” (made famous in 1979 by Dionne Warwick). The single leads into this, her fourth album, Out of the Box.
“When you reach the milestone of 50, many things begin to cross your mind. Out of the Box is a deliberate breakaway from me being stereotyped as ‘Lori only does this’ – this being straight ahead jazz. For me to be recognized and respected within that music has been quite an accomplishment but there is more to me. Out of the Box is a Neo-Soul Jazz project. When I hear my voice on these new songs, it’s a sound I really like. It’s not as intricate, heavy or filled with tricky odd meter explorations. It’s feel music with catchy lyrics that people can remember and walk away singing.”
