Nikki Giovanni - Truth Is On Its Way (Opaque Yellow Vinyl) (LP)

Truth Is On Its Way pairs celebrated poet Nikki Giovanni with the soul-stirring sounds of The New York Community Choir, creating an album that blurs the lines between spoken word, gospel, soul, and funk. Originally emerging from the early 1970s, this collaboration captures Giovanni’s powerful poetry set against evocative choral arrangements that channel the energy and spirit of the era.

This unique release stands out for its minimalist production, blending drum machine, layered keyboards, and understated vocals to mesmerizing effect. Giovanni’s voice rises from the uncertainty of the seventies, merging past and present influences in a truly inspired musical odyssey that continues to resonate with listeners and collectors alike.
