Hailed as "the epitome of Southern Soul" (VIBE) and a "bluesy stroke of brilliance" (Okayplayer), with "a voice molded by the gospel church and a near preternatural handling of the deep-down intensity of the blues" (KCRW), Miss Black America further expands KIRBY’s mission to reclaim her roots, and bring Mississippi music and culture to the masses. As Elton John recently proclaimed, KIRBY is "destined for great things," and with this album, she turns the page on a profound and personal next chapter, daring listeners to hear the foot stomping,
humming and yearning, and transform those sounds into purpose and power.
While KIRBY has co-written and collaborated with everyone from Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney to Beyoncé, Black Thought, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Donald Glover and more, cultivating millions of fans including Hayley Williams and countless others, Miss Black America is entirely her own. Choosing hymns over hits, stories over samples, and truth over trends, this project marks the most inspired work of her career, taking you from the Saturday cookout to the Sunday church service, while getting you through working for "The Man" on Monday. It is blues and soul music for the future, and made for those who came before her: the ancestors who danced, cried and sang on the land of the Dockery Plantation where she descends from, and where many credit as the birthplace of the Delta blues.
