Draft:Wild Is The Wind

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wild Is The Wind is the first album by Kari Kirkland, recorded at United Studios in Los Angeles and released on Slea Head Records in February 2021. It was co-produced and arranged by Shelly Berg. Named Editor's Pick by Jazz Times, they wrote, "keeping good company while walking the line where jazz and adult contemporary meet, Kari Kirkland proves that she's finally right where she belongs". JW Vibe wrote, "As your ears attune to the pin drop purity and transcendent exquisiteness of Kari Kirkland’s soulful yet ethereal vocals on her lush, deeply intimate debut album Wild is the Wind, you may find yourself connecting so intensely to her breathy emotional invitations that you’ll wonder why this is the first time you’re hearing from her..." Break Your Heart, originally by Taio Cruz featuring Ludacris reached #28 on Billboard.
