Description
Nashville based singer-songwriter Adia Victoria is back once more. Returning for her third studio album – and the follow up to 2019’s Sciences – soaked in blues and soul, this time Victoria has tapped into a rich vein of melancholy and moodiness for A Southern Gothic.
Adia Victoria’s third studio album A Southern Gothic was executive produced by T Bone Burnett, and features guest contributions from Jason Isbell, Margo Price and The National’s Matt Berninger.
With A Southern Gothic, Victoria continues her journey through the conflicts of the American South and the troubling resonance of its past. Sonically, the album is full of frequent juxtaposition. It is equal parts historical montage and modern prophesy, dark and light, love and loathing. The 14 tracks are the musical embodiment of the relationship that so many people, especially Black women, have with the South.
Opening with the aptly titled “Magnolia Blues”, Victoria wastes no time in showing off her vocal talents. Nailing her style perfectly, weaving blues, americana and elements of modern pop for a healthy dose of righteousness. Overall, Adia Victoria has created an album that paints a picture of her influences and shows her clear talent for blending the old with the new.
