World-renowned soprano Janinah Burnett is a singing phenomenon and one of the most accomplished and versatile singers of her generation. She is one of the few singers to perform roles on both Broadway and the Metropolitan Opera stage while maintaining an international performance presence.
Burnett's 2021 release, Love the Color of Your Butterfly, features arrangements and collaborations with Christian Sands, Sullivan Fortner Jr., Casey Benjamin, and Terreon Gully who produced the project. The CD is an amalgamation of jazz, opera, art song, oratorio, rhythm and blues, and spirituals and introduces her concept of “Clazz,” which encourages collaboration and redefines the parameters of genre while embracing parts of history that are erased, widely unknown and forgotten. Love the Color of Your Butterfly has been featured in numerous publications including the Financial Times, Playbill, Broadway World, Downbeat Magazine, and Opera News.
