Listen to a preview of Orfeh performing a song from the album below:

“The enchanting music tells a story of powerful, independent, wise women who have been labeled a witch for refusing to conform to the status quo,” said Krystin Crain Johnson of the inspiration behind the album, “Across cultures and centuries, women who break rules or defied convention were cast away as witches–a stigma levied as a cautionary tale for other ambitious, curious and willful women to stay small. Some of their names have resonated throughout history, but their stories have always been told in others’ voices.” 

“In Witch Hunt, these magical women gather for one night to speak for themselves,” added Jamail, “It was metaphorical to bring together this group of powerhouse female voices to help us tell these stories about facing impossible options, being labeled as terrifying, and like any multi-hyphenate woman: celebrating being more than one thing all at once. The music takes the listener on a journey from faith and fiction, from the islands of Ancient Greece to the graveyards in New Orleans, in a fun way that brings the world’s most legendary witches together to tell their stories. We cannot wait for fans of musical theater and fantasy to delve into this world with us.”

The album, which will be released by Joy Machine Records, is produced, mixed and engineered by Jamail, David Kawamura and Jim Morgan, mastered by Oscar Zambrano with artwork by Tess Johnson.
