In Messages, Horn’s mastery of jazz tradition intersects with contemporary influences, resulting in a sound that is both timeless and refreshingly modern. The album features 10 original compositions, alongside her stunning interpretation of the 1932 classic “You're Getting to Be a Habit with Me.” The new single captures Horn’s extraordinary vocal range and her ability to breathe new life into jazz standards, while the rest of the album explores the complexities of personal and professional relationships.
Horn’s decision to pare back her ensemble for this album allows her voice to shine even brighter, while still embracing the avant-garde spirit she exhibited in her previous work. The intimate yet expansive sound of Messages is a departure from the big band arrangements of 2021’s Dear Love, showcasing a more focused and introspective side of the artist.
“I write for healing, reconciliation, and freedom of expression,” says Horn. “My messages are for anyone who needs a reminder to believe in themselves and to pursue their passions, no matter the obstacles.”
With Messages, Jazzmeia Horn continues to solidify her place among the vanguard of contemporary jazz artists. The album’s blend of tradition and innovation, paired with Horn’s compelling storytelling, ensures that Messages will be a powerful and unforgettable experience for listeners.
