Description
The depth of Toshi Reagon's songwriting skills is matched only by the range and versatility of her voice, which is the lead vocal, the back-up, and often the rhythm section. With an acoustic guitar and occasional percussion accompaniment, Reagon's voice soars, and her sound is at once intimate and electrifying. This music is rhythm-infused: as much gospel and blues as hip-hop. It is the sound of Reagon's roots—gospel, folk, and blues—merged with her brand of urban acoustic. Kindness is an intimate encounter with Reagon's heritage. "Kindness is...dominated by Reagon's fiery commitment to life and justice." —Out
