The New-Orleans inspired performer Judith Owen has released the gospel-soaked single 'Inside Out', which is taken from her recent album release 'Suit Yourself'. Co-written with Jamison Ross and featuring the Tonya Boyd-Cannon Choir, this track is pure soul-bop.
With a warm feel, the song features Owen's distinctive vocal. Rich and full of clarity, the call and response arrangement feels genuine and organic. Lyrically, the track is emboldening for the listener with the refrain "say something, be someone" serving as a powerful mantra. The message of 'Inside Out' encompasses the tone of the 'Suit Yourself' album - the hard-won realization that vulnerability invites connection rather than rejection.
The use of the choir here is simply sublime. They aren't merely backing, they really lift Owen and by the final chorus the full togetherness is a thing to behold. It is the kind of end to a song (and album) that makes a live audience stand and clap along whether they intended to or not. The song overall is simply infectious.
'Inside Out' blends gospel, jazz and R & B and reveals a positive, celebratory anthem. The track is warm and authentic. The album 'Suit Yourself' deserves a full exploration based on this release - a chance to discover further personal songwriting, complex musicianship and a fantastic vocal.
Blending old-school soul, gospel, jazz and R&B, the track is an uplifting celebration of self-discovery, hope and choosing joy. Taken from Owen’s acclaimed album 'Suit Yourself', which has now surpassed one million streams, “Inside Out” is a soulful, feel-good addition to playlists looking for warmth, groove and authentic New Orleans spirit.
