Possesses the same talent as Aretha Franklin!? Pleasant acid jazz reminiscent of Swing Out Sisters
When you cast aside all preconceived notions and simply listen to the flowing sounds, a smooth singing voice influenced by Al Jarreau and Minnie Riperton, and a solid "soul" resonate through your eardrums. The singer's name is Erin Hunt. However, her listening background is contrary to what listeners might imagine. She grew up listening to very little black music, preferring The Beatles and the Allman Brothers. Nevertheless, her album "The Woman I Am," which has a foundation of acid jazz reminiscent of Swing Out Sisters, also has a soulful quality, much like Chaka Khan or Roberta Flack. Her listening background of UK rock and country, combined with her innate soul, harmonizes beautifully, transforming it into a unique form of acid jazz that brings a pleasant sense of exhilaration. Grammy-winning producer/engineer/mixer Ron Saint Germain also highly praises her, stating, "I have worked with legendary singers like Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Ashford & Simpson, Chaka Khan, and Diana Ross, and Erin Hunt undoubtedly possesses the same talent as them." He further adds, "Once you hear 'The Woman I Am,' you'll immediately understand what I mean," commending her music. And just as he said, from the soulful "The Woman I Am," to the refreshingly cool "My Friends" with its innovative sound, and the classic "The Weight," her ability to traverse the past, present, and future of soul is truly "genius." Erin Hunt's God-given talent blossoms vividly in "The Woman I Am."
