Motto: New Album, Rare Child, In Stores May 20th!
Ich über mich: Growing up in rural Hopewell, NJ, Danielia Cotton stood out. Not just because she was one of about seven Black kids in her junior high school, but because of the compelling power of her shockingly big voice. Danielia’s natural gift--raw, searing vocal chops combined with a deep, buttery tone--draws from two different traditions she absorbed early in her youth. On the one hand, she couldn’t get enough of the rock 'n' roll her friends were listening to and on the other, she was her mother’s girl: daughter of a jazz singer and member of the church gospel choir.

The collision of these two traditions is her new album, Rare Child, produced by Brad Jones and co-produced by Joe Blaney and Danielia herself. She pulls, stretches and grips her lyrics with a strength that is startling considering her seemingly happy-go-lucky demeanor. Like male counterparts Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone or crossover icon Tina Turner, Danielia not only has embraced the notion of Black Rock--she has redefined it.
