TKA artist Cécile Mclorin Salvant has made NPR’s new list of “The 200 Greatest Songs By 21st Century Women,” with her song “Monday” coming in at number 53! This is what NPR had to say about the song:
“While she’s made her name lending her unparalleled vocal chops to mischievous old blues tunes and forgotten Broadway melodies, Cécile McLorin Salvant has equally mastered spacious, searching ballads. “Monday” is of the latter ilk, an impressionistic Salvant original that floats like a two-minute daydream. It’s nestled midway through her 2015 album For One to Love, which found the French-trained 20-something honing her songwriter’s voice with keen observations on romance, yearning and human interaction.” —Rachel Horn
