Janiva Magness Releases “Slipped, Tripped and Fell in Love,” Previewing Long-Awaited Live Album Truth in the Room
​

Grammy-nominated blues and soul singer Janiva Magness has unveiled her latest single, “Slipped, Tripped and Fell in Love,” offering an uplifting first glimpse of her upcoming live album, Truth in the Room: The Clearmountain Sessions, arriving August 7 via Blue Élan Records.

Recorded live before an invited audience of just 150 guests at Berkeley Street Studios in Los Angeles, the new track captures the warmth, spontaneity and emotional intensity that have made Magness one of the most compelling live performers in contemporary blues. The release serves as the first preview of Truth in the Room: The Clearmountain Sessions, the first full-length live album of her acclaimed three-decade career.

For years, fans have urged Magness to document the power of her concerts on a live record. Rather than rush the process, she waited for the perfect combination of venue, audience and creative team. The result is a deeply personal collection recorded and mixed by legendary engineer Bob Clearmountain, whose work spans some of the most celebrated live and studio recordings in music history.

“Slipped, Tripped and Fell in Love” showcases everything that has made Magness a standout voice in modern blues: soulful vocals, emotional authenticity and an undeniable connection with her audience. The performance radiates joy and energy, while retaining the intimacy that defines the album as a whole.

Widely regarded as one of the leading voices in contemporary blues, Magness has built a remarkable career marked by a Grammy nomination, multiple Blues Music Awards, the prestigious B.B. King Entertainer of the Year honor and a forthcoming induction into the Women Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2025. Her music, often shaped by personal hardship and resilience, continues to resonate deeply with audiences around the world.

Truth in the Room: The Clearmountain Sessions celebrates that journey through ten live recordings drawn from across her catalog. The collection features fan favorites including “My Bad Luck Soul,” “Make It Rain,” “You Were Never Mine,” “Love Wins Again,” and “The Things Left Undone,” alongside the exuberant new single.

Captured with remarkable clarity by Clearmountain, the album preserves more than just performances it documents the unique exchange between artist and audience. Throughout the record, Magness’ belief in music as a force for healing, connection and truth remains at the forefront.

With “Slipped, Tripped and Fell in Love,” listeners get an early taste of what promises to be one of the year's standout live blues releases, a heartfelt and powerful reminder of why Janiva Magness remains one of the genre’s most respected artists.
