Judith Hill | KNKX Studio Session

- Опубликовано: 27 май 2024
- The first KNKX session performance at our temporary location at Avast! Studios was a family affair. But it wasn't without a little stress as Judith Hill (@JudithHillMusic) shared her uniquely funky music with us.
Hill's quartet on this trip to Seattle included drummer John Staten and Hill's parents, funk veterans Pee Wee Hill and Michiko Hill on bass and keyboards. The singer, guitarist, pianist and composer was in the middle of several shows that were taking their toll on her voice.
This powerful instrument wasn't up to Judith Hill's recording studio standards, but her band and the small crew at Avast! were knocked out by her incredible talent.
The session kicked off in high gear with the ferocious funk of "The Pepper Club" from Hill's 2018 album Golden Child. The tightly wound funk carried the swagger of Prince, who produced her debut album, and included a charming piano solo from Michiko Hill.
Judith Hill sang her passionate blues song "Burn It All" from her most recent album next, with Michiko playing a churchy organ backing. It's a classic story of a "sugar man" who turns out to be a "dirty dog" as Hill puts this character in his place. Fuzzy bass and oddly effective synthesizer sounds from Hill's parental bandmates, and her own rocking guitar solo and yearning vocals bring a fresh energy to the song.
Concluding the session, Judith Hill played both piano and guitar on the extended ballad "Give Your Love to Someone Else," also from Baby, I'm Hollywood. This epic, soulful singer-songwriter effort is a showcase for Hill's incredible vocal power as well as her knack for a melody. Decorating the song's story of a failed relationship with a potent guitar solo, Hill was commanding and authoritative as a singer and bandleader.
She is also her toughest critic. Judith Hill was leaning toward a fourth take of the song, but her band and the lateness of the hour convinced her to call it a day. For the KNKX crew, it was a day we'll never forget.
These three tunes were a sampling of the musical diversity on her latest album, and Hill promises more to come on an already recorded (but not scheduled for release) next album. Still a young woman in her 30s, Judith Hill has lived an artist's life in a short time. That experience and her passion and talent are sure to bring her and music fans around the world plenty of incredible music in many years to come.

What a discovery! Absolutely blown away by her talent. Spent the last couple of hours glued to her videos. Massive shoutout to her family for nurturing such a prodigy from day one. 🔥🔥🔥
That’s her mama on keys and Daddy on Bass. It’s a family Affair
Talented family.
Brother on the drum 😂😅
Off the chain bro
Cameraman is the Uncle..
Oh really?!? That's cool! I just thought it was cool that they were a band of unrelated people. I've seen 2nd hand how difficult it is to get a band together -- which is why I liked seeing them.
Not enough water on this earth to extinguish this kind of fire.
Can’t believe I’m just discovering her. I’m. Blown. Away. Been watching her videos for the last two hours. Huge respect to mom, dad and baby prodigy.
Yo también acabo de descubrirla y llevo mas de 5 horas escuchándola , estoy impresionado con tanto talento familiar...bendiciones
✔️🔥🎙🔥✔️
Me too where has she been hiding
Finally we have a new “ Prince “ 🙌🏽🔥💙🥹
Yesssssssss😂!!!
I knew so little about Judith Hill until last night. Going through one of the toughest times in my life currently. This lifted me to a new level. I am a drummer and bassist for a living, and this brought me to tears. Thank you for your gift Judith. THANK YOU! What a blessing to this broken world.
Prince and MJ knew what they were doing ❤ she is amazing
Why more people don't know about her is baffling. I saw her perform in January 2023 at the Ritz Theater in Jacksonville and there were only 60 people in the audience. She and her family still tore the place up!
I'm mad that I didn't know about this. I LOVE HER...ever since her time on "The Voice"
I saw the band in a small club in Rome, the best concert I've seen in my life. I've never felt so connected with the music that way before.
you are lucky. she comes to my city soon, but I have ticket for Stanley Clarke THE SAME NIGHT. what a mistake of the promoters...
popular american media ignores true american roots music especially by females. they have had to go abroad for decades to get an audience.
Why more people don't know about her? She isn't twerking, she is not behaving promiscuously, she isn't being rude, and she isn't marginally talented. She was around two greats before their untimely passing, namely MJ and Prince. So, for those two to have utilised her talents, she is known!
With her incredible gift, she should be a superstar
Oh the groove!!! Did not know she could play the guitar like that and the drummer!!!
🔥🔥🔥 Judith!!! thank you algorithms for dropping this on me!
Live band. Live VOICE. No robot to help the tune. FIRE!
What a funky family !
JoY!
Judith is a true diamond. So talented ! She is a superstar ! I love her parents backibg her up !
Let me just remind everyone that this incredibly talented woman was voted off the show The Voice about 10 years ago. She's so good.. I get goose bumps on my goose bumps.
And that marked the last time I ever watch that fraud of a show. It was a travesty.
Her getting voted off practically broke me. Still salty about it 10 yrs later! I don’t blame Adam Levine for being pissed at America. I was too. Just watch her Voice Audition performance. Genius.
Hard to believe she was "20' from stardom" 10 years ago already, and she hasn't quite got "there" yet???
She is so fucking good and special, and has been for so long, and just getting better. She's 100% a STAR, a voice that outshines nearly all, in my book. (And doing it here with moms and pops in the band is almost too much for words... just beautiful)
THANK YOU for bringing back music with real heart and soul.
Judith Hill - -the female performer accompanying duet with Michael Jackson on I Can't Stop Loving You on MJ's last show This Is It. Amazing Voice !
Her parents are well known musicians and very respected for many many years. She has good genes and shines in her talents.
Old school never gets old.
When she started playing at minute 12, the skin on my head crawled. What a talented woman!
Judith is amazing! Great talent and great heart. Seeing her play with her parents always brings a smile. God bless her and her family and friends. much love.
Dam WHERE IN THE HELL HAVE I BEEN TO MISS THIS UBER SOULFUL & TALENTED Ms Hill and her BAND! I found them now and I'm a fan for live.... Dat was funky funky like a bowlegged monkey!!!! I bow to all of you! Peace & Gratitude to you all
Freaking Amazing, finding Artists like this is why I have hope for us as a people.
The epotome of a family that plays together stays together...dammmm
Damn Good Groove! This is how the best of the best work together to make something bigger than the individual. Amazing, everyone in the band is in sync. I could go on about the drummer, the bass, keys (damn good), Judith Hill, but it would be a ridiculously long post. Love to you all from San Antonio Texas. ❤❤❤
She and her family are amazing! First time i ever heard her! Wow!
This funk riff ... I immediately try to play it b/c I'm hooked ... also the sound of the guitar is great.
Judith is an amazing talent!!! Pure fire!!!
Now that's one joyful drummer.
Pffff wauw wauw its my sons birthday and she is performing 30 minutes from my house 😮next time I HAVE 2 GO!!!
She, and they all are amazing ! What a groove, what a sound. I am great fan ! Best band I heard since long time with so many talents. WOW!
Man!!! This is real!!??😱😱😱Unbelievable, amazing, Voice, Drummer, Bass player, Keyboardist, my respect for all of you🙏🙏🙏🙏, lovely Band😍😍😍😍👌
I didn't know Judith. I am not going to elaborate on how evident his torrential talent is. The only thing I can say (after being speechless) is that it had been a long time since I had enjoyed learning the music of a "new" (at least for me) artist so much.
Quite impressive. She's amazing and the band is marvelous. Really wonderful talent.
i believe thats her dad on bass and mom on keys. so much talent in one family!
Judith Hill is an amazing performer ..compelling with strong soulful vocals.
John Staten is off the charts good - fabulous feel and precision. Perfect drumming for these songs !
the second song is killing me!! her voice is amazing! passion radiating from her voice, loveee it!
I'm hearing so many influences, Hendrix, Aretha, Janis, Prince, Bonnie Raitt She's amazing. Hope to catch her live out here in the Bay Area!
This is REAL talent!!
Her strong overall performance really went up another level of intensity when she started ripping those nasty blues riffs on the guitar. Solid work by the rest of the band too. Excellent!
Dang! That is one helluva tight band! Smokin'! Lord, please do not let your servant depart before he can see Judith Hill live ...
First time listener here. I love this song. Lots of energy amd spark... May I say spark÷a÷lish÷pus! Cool piano solo. I'll play this for my music students this morning in North Philadelpia. I hope to hear more, please.
Best wishes always ,
ROBERT ZELIGSON
What a unique talent. Killer vocals and a multi instrumentalist. Come on! Mom and Dad ain't so bad either. A pure joy to hear.
I stumbled across this lady on RUclips and was blown away. I ordered a CD from Amazon, got it the next day and when I’m driving it’s all I’m listening to. Her band and that soulful sound coming out of her is just what I need while dealing with life’s challenges. ❤
Well Damn! It transitioned well. For yall that don't understand, close your eyes and feel what's inside of her delivery!!!!!! (YES LORD!) IT TRANSITIONED 100%
Immensely talented. ❤

This so dope! Every musician is so on point 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Never heard of her before (here in Germany) - but this is really exciting stuff. Judith's voice with her power, passion and this nice package of dirt, the band bringing everything on the point with great arrangements - the tricky drum fill ins, breaks and solo parts (f. e. Michikos jazzy solo on "Pepper Club", reminding of old Herbie Hancock and some Cuban stuff is simply mindblowing, a real journey within 30 seconds). That's making fun on a high level!
Saw her and the band yesterday evening at A to Jazz fest in Sofia.
Wow!!! Could not beleive my ears - amazing voice and talent, super musicans' band and extremely good music - thank you for the evening people!
The prince is back to the earth 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
