It’s been some time since I’ve reviewed Changamire’s debut Only Human and it took Changamire a while to answer the jazz-not-jazz interview. But this can happen, when you’re an active member of various associations and programs supporting musicians and black women. If you want to know more about Changamire’s social activities, her work with Lincoln Ross and her sophomore album then keep on reading.
Q: Your album Only Human has been released some years ago. How content are you with the reactions it got from listeners and critics?
Changamire: I am very content with the reaction “only human” received from listeners and critics. All reviews, whether local, national, or international, have been favorable to say the least.
Q: How would you describe your music to someone who hasn’t heard of you before and where do you see your musical niche in the music biz?
Changamire: I describe my music as smooth and bitterly compassionate. my interpretation of a jazz standard is similarly conveyed in the eight R&B and soft rock songs on “Only Human”. My life background was immersed in r&b, while my music training lies in straight-ahead jazz. This unique, seamless integration is my niche in the biz.
