Water

Description

Water, Gregory Porter's debut studio album released in 2010, joins the Blue Note catalogue. Marking the start of the singer's career with a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album in 2011, it elevated Gregory Porter to the status of a future great male jazz star. The album is driven by themes of love and protest, with clear influences of blues, gospel, and soul. Alongside love songs like "Illusion" or "Pretty", Gregory Porter includes his hit track "1960 What?", an energetic and vibrant protest for African-American civil rights. Porter also covers saxophonist Wayne Shorter's "Black Nile" with added lyrics and delivers a magnificent a cappella rendition of "Feeling Good," famously performed by Nina Simone.
