Inhalt: Das Debüt der außergewöhnlichen Sängerin Cécile McLorin Salvant ist eine beeindruckende Hommage an die großen Stars früherer Jahrzehnte. Gleichzeitig sind auch Elemente zeitgenössischen R&Bs zu hören. 'The winner of the 2010 Thelonious Monk jazz vocal competition, Salvant has the technical ability, lyrical sense, and undeniable charisma to sustain a career that could undoubtedly match those of her idols -- who include Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, and Ella Fitzgerald. And while the distinctive influence of all three of these singers is evident here, with 'WomanChild' Salvant reveals herself to be a genuinely original vocalist with a distinctive timbre, a singer steeped in tradition but with a style and phrasing all her own ... With 'WomanChild', Salvant's time has definitely come and ... it's clear she has the talent to go very far indeed' (www.allmusic.com).
