Rhiannon Giddens recently gave an intimate performance at Racket in New York City for WFUV’s FUV Live. She spoke with host Alisa Ali about her new album, You’re the One, and more, and was joined by her band to perform several songs from it. You can now watch the performance of the album tracks “Too Little, Too Late, Too Bad,” “You Louisiana Man,” and “Yet to Be” below and listen to the complete session at wfuv.org.

“If you know Rhiannon’s music, you know she doesn’t do genres, she just does songs,” says Ali, “but her songs come out in such wonderfully different styles—there’s jazz, there’s folk, there’s gospel, there’s blues, there’s rock—it’s all in there. But if I had to put a label on her, I would say Americana’s a good way to describe her: Essentially her music aims to uncover the American story.”

You’re the One comprises twelve tunes written over the course of Giddens’ career and bursts with life-affirming energy, drawing from the folk music she knows so deeply and its pop descendants. The album was produced by Jack Splash (Kendrick Lamar, Solange, Alicia Keys, Valerie June) and recorded with an ensemble including Giddens' closest musical collaborators from the past decade, a string section, and Miami Horns. The lone featured guest on the album is Jason Isbell on “Yet to Be.”

Rhiannon Giddens was on The Daily Show last week to talk with guest host Michael Kosta about her career, winning the Pulitzer Prize in Music, and her song "Another Wasted Life," from her new album, You're the One, which she also performed on the show. You can watch it here. Giddens was also on WNYC’s All of It with Alison Stewart last week to talk about and share songs from her new album, You’re the One. You can hear their conversation here.

    "I love this idea of 'intersection' for inspiration when it comes to describing American music or its characteristics," classical singer Julia Bullock says in a new video from Boosey & Hawkes for its America at 250 series. "There's no apology for where those inspirations are coming from, so whether it's directly quoting or imitating the sort of collage and then the depth of expression that can come out of the layering effect, I put all these things together because it brings me great pleasure and joy and often surprises me tremendously."
