Kieran Brown is an exciting new voice in jazz. Her 1st album perfectly capture her diverse musical and vocal range and capabilities.

Kieran Brown is an exciting new voice in jazz. By sixteen years old, she was singing the National Anthem at Madison Square Garden, and by seventeen, she had cemented herself a spot at a prestigious undergraduate jazz program. Since moving to New York in 2023, she has performed at some of the best-known clubs on the New York Jazz scene. Stand outs on the album are Joe Block's arrangement of Mandal and Mercer's 'Emily,' Brown's own arrangement of the title track 'Loving You' by Stephen Sondheim, and Aaron Matson's arrangement of Burt Bacharach's 'Alfie.' These arrangements perfectly capture Brown's diverse musical and vocal range, going from American Songbook to contemporary and folk.
Brown has surrounded herself with instrumentalists and arrangers with as deep a breadth of musicianship as she. Outside of Brown's own arrangements, the album features string arrangements by Joe Block, a renowned pianist in his own right, who has arranged for the likes of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, Kenny Overton, and the Jazz Orchestra of Philadelphia. Featured tenor soloist and Grammy award winner Chris Lewis boasts an expansive jazz background, playing with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, the Count Basie Orchestra, and the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra. However, the true beauty in this ensemble is the fresh new musicians Brown brings along with her, including rhythm section leader and pianist Tyler Henderson and bassist Joseph Raneri. There's a freshness to the energy they bring to the record, a vibrancy that can only be found amongst this younger generation, hungry to keep this music alive.
The opening number on Loving You is an apt one. Brown's rendition of Previn and Previn tune 'You're Gonna Hear from Me,' arranged for the album by guitarist Aaron Matson, is a rousing welcome to her debut.
