The GRAMMY Museum welcomed GRAMMY Award-winning vocal powerhouse Judith Hill to the Museum’s intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater for an evening including a conversation moderated by Lyndsey Parker celebrating her album, Letters from a Black Widow, and discussing her creative process, career, collaborating with Michael Jackson and Prince, and more, with a stunning performance to follow.
Anyone who’s followed Judith Hill’s story will recognize Letters from a Black Widow as one jaw-dropper of an album title. The tabloid-coined phrase “Black Widow” arose after the overdose deaths of her two star-making collaborators, Michael Jackson and Prince. It became a term of abuse that internet trolls hurled at the celebrated artist, driving conspiracy theories and shame campaigns – trauma that nearly ended a career that includes a GRAMMY for her role in the Oscar-winning documentary film “20 Feet from Stardom.”
Written and self-produced by Hill, Letters from a Black Widow received critical acclaim upon release from the likes of NPR, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, BET, V Magazine, Entertainment Tonight, Rolling Stone, and more. BET touted that Judith “is moving from the background to center stage, where she’s always belonged” and The New York Times praised her “achingly personal lyrics paired with muscular funk, soul and blues, and backed by her shredding, soaring guitar.
