Award-winning vocalist Youn Sun Nahis proud to announce her groundbreaking album, Elles. Long hailed for her style-blurring renditions of artists spanning Tom Waits and Jimi Hendrix to Marvin Gaye and Metallica, Elles sees Youn Sun Nah bringing her remarkable voice and unique perspective to a range of songs that have deeply fueled her own indescribable musical approach, all made famous by such iconic female artists as Björk, Sarah Vaughan, Grace Jones, Roberta Flack, Edith Piaf, Grace Slick, Maria Joao, and more. Recorded in New York City alongside acclaimed pianist Jon Cowherd (Brian Blade, Cassandra Wilson, Lizz Wright) and producer/musician Tomek Miernowski, Elles spans a wide array of songs either written or performed by notable women artists, from soulful spirituals ("Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child") and psychedelic milestones ("White Rabbit") to long-overdue takes on "Feeling Good," "My Funny Valentine," "I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango)" and "Killing Me Softly With His Song" (the latter performed alone with a treasured music box).
