Erin Henderson has been creating music since she was five. Although her name may be unfamiliar to you, people around the world recognize her voice. She has released seven albums, and she is preparing to release her eighth album, Family of Man, this week. Her unique style carefully combines elements of African and European music. She began recording her new album in a studio, but in the end, she recorded most of the songs in an empty swimming pool. As you listen to the album, you will hear birds in the background, and, in one song, a plane is flying overhead. Some of the songs will make you dance, while others will relax you.
Before she started work on Family of Man, Henderson had taken some time off from songwriting to travel to the Far East. Her travels have influenced her music for the better. As you listen to Family of Man, you will realize how many changes she has made in her style. She used to rely heavily on instrumentation in her music. Now, she uses fewer instruments, which focuses the listener on her voice. I believe this is her finest work yet.
