Rhiannon Giddens Shares New Single From Forthcoming Album, ‘You’re The One’
Rhiannon Giddens has shared a new single, “Yet To Be,” from her latest upcoming album You’re the One, due out Aug. 18 on Nonesuch Records.
Featuring Jason Isbell, “Yet to Be” tells the story of a Black woman and an Irish man falling in love in America. Giddens chose to collaborate with Isbell due to his steadfast advocacy and support for Black women in the industry, and her admiration of him as a person of great character.
You’re the One features twelve songs written over the course of Giddens’ career bursting with life-affirming energy and drawing from the folk music she knows so deeply. It was recorded with a band composed of her closest musical collaborators from the past decade, alongside musicians chosen by producer Jack Splash, topped off with a horn section.
Collaborators on the album include Italian multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turrisi plus multi-instrumentalist Dirk Powell, bassist Jason Sypher and Congolese guitarist Niwel Tsumbu. The album features electric and upright bass, conga, Cajun and piano accordions, guitars, a Western string section and Miami horns, among other instruments, capturing the inclusive spirit that channels through all of Giddens’ work.
Giddens has had a busy 2023 so far. The Grammy winner and MacArthur fellow was recently awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Music for her collaborative opera, “Omar.” Giddens is also featured on Fast Company‘s Most Creative People in Business list and is a host on Arts Talk, a new PBS program on which she, Elvis Costello and Brian Stokes Mitchell discuss their careers.
