Blog Critics Reviews Keturah’s Self-titled Album, Which Is #9 at NACC World

Blog Critics has reviewed Keturah’s “beautiful eponymous debut LP, which features an excellent backup band that emphasizes guitar and percussion; a sax also pops up on one track, and a trumpet highlights another. The songs, all co-authored by Keturah, blend African rhythms with folk, funk, and some American elements. There are a few gorgeous ballads here… but most of the music is as bright and bouncy as anything by the late Hawaiian guitarist and singer Gabby Pahinui, whose work Keturah sometimes recalls. She sings in her native tongue, so you almost certainly won’t understand a word, but no matter: Here’s proof that music is the universal language.” Check out the full review here.

The album – out now via Hen House Studios – debuted at #9 on NACC’s World Chart last week and is aiming for the Top Five this week. Thanks to KEUL, KMUW, WHCL, NCPR, and WVKR for including it on your World charts last week.
