“I’ve listened to Roberta Baum for years and I still feel a unique connection to her. She has been a jazz vocalist since the 80s and a musical theater performing artist in the 70s. There was always a mystical, mysterious essence about her that was undeniably there and I was completely entranced. Her voice has consistently transcended her vast influences and inspirations. For that long she remained a well-kept secret, yet collaborated with esteemed jazz artists, participated in notable events, garnered critical praise, and composed music for film, theater, and dance.
Baum revels in the variety woven into her music from within, transforming it into something innovative and timeless. “Light World” furthers Roberta Baum's exploration of jazz, pop and world music. Reinventing herself with every release, she has a different shade to unveil and a different tale to share on each of these tracks. Having celebrated the earth, nature, light and darkness, she’s now journeying through a boundless expanse to share her discoveries. With the themes made for each track, the dynamism and vitality are extensive, appearing to reach into infinity as it surrounds you with dreamlike vibrations and raw sensuality. Baum's meticulous focus on diction and tone, along with her breathing techniques to enhance vocal projection, reflect a familiar style to her previous works. Now it evokes a sensation of being guided by an angel throughout the experience, and realizing that angels are not what you expected them to be. Whether it's a solitary incantation like “Look Up” or a complex multi-layered saga like “Kingdom of Heaven”, the variety in cultural and spiritual practices is enriched with significant depth and scope, making them sound and feel universally relevant. And it feels like a realization long forgotten but suddenly found again if you know where to seek it.”
