Oh Snap is the new album from the McArthur Fellow and 3-time Grammy winning singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Cecile McLorin Salvant. Oh Snap features twelve original songs by Salvant-plus one short "cover" of a verse from the Commodores' 1977 hit "Brick House"-mostly recorded outside of a traditional studio environment. The album features longtime musical collaborators Sullivan Fortner, Yasushi Nakamura, and Kyle Poole, as well as cameos from singers June McDoom and Kate Davis. The album is an eclectic mix of genres from indie to folk to jazz to experimental pop, all anchored by Salvant's otherworldly voice. Oh Snap shows that she will never be pigeonholed into one genre and proves, once again, that Salvant is one of the most daring and creative artists currently making music.

2023 release. Melusine features a mix of five originals and interpretations of nine songs, dating as far back as the twelfth century, mostly sung in French along with Occitan, English, and Haitian Kreyol. Melusine follows last year's label debut, Ghost Song, which has received two Grammy nominations and tremendous critical praise, including spots on best albums of 2022 lists from the New York Times and NPR, among others. The new album's songs tell the story of the European folkloric legend of Melusine, a woman who turns into a half-snake each Saturday as a result of a childhood curse by her mother. Melusine later agrees to marry Raymondin on the condition that he never see her on Saturdays. He agrees but is ultimately convinced by his brother to break his promise, piercing his wife's door with his sword and finding her naked in the bath, half snake, half woman. When she catches him spying on her, she turns into a dragon and flies out the window, only to reappear every time one of her descendants is on their deathbed. Salvant, whose parents are French and Haitian, says Melusine is also "partly about that feeling of being a hybrid, a mixture of different cultures, which I've experienced not only as the American-born child of two first generation immigrants, but as someone raised in a family that is racially mixed, from several different countries, with different languages spoken in the home. "

2016 Grammy Winner for "Best Jazz Vocal Album." "This music is very personal, very close to home," Cecile McLorin Salvant responds when asked about the songs on For One To Love. "I'm not playing anyone else here but myself. I can look at many of these songs and see that this is an event that really happened, or a feeling I've lived through myself," McLorin Salvant explains. "That's what makes it so difficult to share. It's almost like a diary entry."

There are no studio tricks or subterfuge here. When asked her about the secret to her success, McLorin Salvant nonchalantly ascribes much of it to luck.

That same attention to detail also emerges in a similarly meticulously created, handmade package; a package that Cecile has literally envisioned, drawn or handwritten everything in it. For One To Love is truly the creation of a singular and unique creative. We present to you with Cecile, the second record in her young and amazing career.
