Klar, tief, vertraut und verwurzelt - so klingt Lizz Wright. Man hort und spurt eine tiefe Naturlichkeit, die innige Wahrheit in ihrer Stimme und in der Musik der Pfarrerstochter aus Georgia, nie zuvor so eindeutig und eindringlich wie auf ›Fellowship‹, ihrem aktuellen Album. Der Titel steht fur Gemeinschaft, das zentrale Thema. Im Sinne von Gemeinde, weil es um spirituelle Traditionen geht, und im Sinne der Menschheit, weil »wir alle diese Lieder brauchen.« Dazu passt, dass Lizz Wright fur ihre ›Family Affair‹ neben ›Presence Of The Lord‹ von Eric Clapton und Jimi Hendrix ›In From The Storm‹ auch Musik einiger zeitgenossischer Kunstlerinnen aufgenommen hat, gemeinsam mit ihnen - mit Me'shell Ndegeocello, Angelique Kidjo, Joan As Policewoman und der Burgerrechtlerin, Aktivistin und Sangerin Dr. Bernice Reagon.
