Rhiannon Giddens, whose T Bone Burnett–produced debut solo album, Tomorrow Is My Turn, is due February 10, is the subject of a feature profile in this Sunday's New York Times Arts & Leisure section. Giddens spoke with Times music critic Jon Pareles about the forthcoming album, The in-depth article looks at her co-founding of Carolina Chocolate Drops, her standout performance in the concert and Showtime special Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating the Music of "Inside Llewyn Davis," writing music to newly discovered Bob Dylan lyrics for The New Basement Tapes, and, of course, the new solo album.

Tomorrow Is My Turn, which features a broad range of songs from genres as diverse as gospel, jazz, blues, and country, including works made famous by Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Odetta, and Nina Simone, is "both a panorama of American styles and a mosaic of women’s perspectives on love, war, work and faith," Pareles writes.

"The album is a showcase for Ms. Giddens’s glorious voice, which merges an opera singer’s detail and a deep connection to Southern roots," he goes on to say. "She can summon the power of a field holler, Celtic quavers, girlish innocence, bluesy sensuality, gospel exaltation or the pain of slavery. She can sing velvety, long-breathed phrases or rasp and yip like a singer from the backwoods long ago. For all her technical control, her voice is a perpetually soulful marvel."

Burnett, for his part, tells Pareles that Giddens has “a pretty profound gift ... I’ve been doing this for 50 years, and I haven’t seen anything like it."
