ARTIST JUDITH HILL IS AMONG A new generation of vocalist, musician and composer artists with a level of creativity, productivity, and polished performance time that  fully registers her among a long line of artistic geniuses. In a decade of fabricated social and mainstream media 'artists', Hill is a certified exception to the rule of faux entertainers. Even if you explore her artistry backwards or forwards to and beyond the ubiquitous hit "Upside" you're going to acknowledge feeling this artist's gift. Featured in the documentary "20 Feet from Stardom" with legendary artists from Darlene Love to Lisa Fischer, Hill carries the golden baton of other music artists that still stand the test of time. Hill is easily within the artistic spectrum of vocalist/musicians like Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and Nina Simone. She is reliably one of those rare artists that will always remind us of the musical truth, no matter what newest pop culture music hype unfolds. Across 90 years of American music there's proof that artistic authenticity can never be manufactured or marketed. Even overseas, this calibre of American entertainment sustains its popularity and influence, even from notable artists no longer among us. In its truest form it is an element that can be felt without elaboration or special effects. Over time this quality has been referenced as "soul music" because of what it touches. Like other young masters, the body of work regularly being created by Judith Hill engages and empowers our universal love of music — complementing why this art form's deeper message and meaning matters.
