Lizz Wright "Speak Your Heart" Highline Ballroom NYC

[germain83]

You know a song is incredible when you hear it for the first time and actually listen to the lyrics and it literally stops you in your tracks. This is up there. This song almost got me killed because I stopped right in the middle of the street.

Be careful!! And yes, incredible! I'm seeing her this afternoon with Dianne Reeves and Angelique Kidjo. Life is good.

phenomenal

[djlamont]

I love you Liz. Thank you for your presents and gift to the world. I saw you several years ago in at Yoshi's in Oakland California. You are the dearest. Beautiful. Your music makes me feel alive and well. I have such hope when you share your soul with me and the world. Please check out the NPR version of "Speak Your Heart". Even more touching, if it is even possible!

She is incredible. And her voice is beyond words. It's a shame how our society rewards tremendous talent with little and mediocre talent with millions. The likes of Brittney, Beyonce, Miley, Christina aren't fit to wash her feet.

[peral341]

She is INCREDIBLE. Her voice is beyond description. It's sad that people with tremendous talent get a pittance while mediocre talent at best--most of what you hear on the radio--sells millions of records. Brittney, Beyonce, Christina, Miley aren't qualified to wash her feet.

The passion in her voice, her face, her long slender arms, and her sexy body is unhindered to the point of unbearableness! It's so intimate, so real, so palpable. It's easy to see how a lot of folks out there can get a little too obsess with this phenomenal singer.

A beauty either way

[LGnLA]

LOVE LOVE LOVE her music, her voice, she's beautiful... this song is so powerful...

[icaroianne]

Ela é maravilhosamente perfeita!  Minha diva! Eu durmo com a voz dela ecoando dentro de mim!

[dariofduarte]

Ela é maravilhosa.

[dazz2100]

i'm speechless... this is pure emotion. :)

[bluefingers9]

I saw her live in Gateshead, England. I fell in love with her voice and after the show, she stayed on stage to chat with people. She is so real, she is a shining example to all... I love her

[naturalsis]

[naturalsis]

[shadowfaxwhite]

WOW HER VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[susuemikado]

I got goosebumps...love Lizz

[angiloveross]

This has to be my favorite song off the album, "The Orchard", I dropped a tear at the live performance in Chicago at Schubas, amazing. She filled the room with this intoxicating performance, afterwords, I was drunk on lyrics and melody and spirit(s).

[ulm200786]

This song is amazing!

[hoppermusic]

I agree!

[naitiah]

I second that motion

[qukumber]

Who is the guy who sings with her in the album version. Love her, the most beautiful voice.

[hoppermusic]

That's Marc Anthony Thompson, aka Chocolate Genius, who recently received attention as the black singer/guitarist in Springsteen's Seeger Sessions Band.

[naitiah]

Thanx for letting me know who this is. I don't have this album so I've been searching forever for his name.

[guitargroovin]

Thanks so much for the info hoppermusic...and it's good to know that others were as drawn to Marc's voice/style as I was.

[ulm200786]

I believe Marc Anthony Thomas....

[LBOOGiE73]

This song has me absolutely mesmerized when I first heard it. It's one of my favorites from 'The Orchard'. She sounds a little hoarse here but elegant nonetheless.

[Ijeomanikulapokuti]

Great song! Thank you so much for posting :D.
