(PR) Sonya Kitchell's sophomore album, This Storm, is scheduled for release this fall (September 2nd). At only 19 years old, the singer, guitarist, and songwriter shows confidence and sophistication well beyond her years – with an incredible voice to match. Kitchell has formed an ongoing creative partnership with jazz legend Herbie Hancock, performing extensively both on tour and on television, in addition to a collaboration on a bonus track for 2007's Album of the Year Grammy recipient, the Hancock-helmed Joni Mitchell tribute River - The Joni Letters.
Kitchell will be on tour this summer with Herbie Hancock singing songs from The Joni Letters, and will headline her own national tour in the fall.
Kitchell's debut, Words Came Back To Me, recorded when she was only 15, shot her to national and international attention. People raved that Kitchell has "a knock out voice that alternately evokes the smokiness of Norah Jones, the soulfulness of Joss Stone and the ethereal sweetness of Sarah McLachlan," adding that "Kitchell is destined for great things."
