 Seven-Time Blues Music Award Winner JANIVA MAGNESS New Album Expected in Spring 2025 Seven-time Blues Music Award winner and Grammy-nominated artist Janiva Magness returns with her latest single, “I Was Good to You Baby,” a preview of her upcoming album set for Spring 2025. Written by the late Louisiana songwriter Dave Egan, the track is a powerful anthem of heartbreak and resilience, featuring Magness’s signature fusion of raw emotion and polished musicianship. Reflecting on the song's poignant lyrics—“I was good to you baby, You’ll find out someday… maybe” Magness comments on its bittersweet undertones with characteristic humor: “It’s about laughing at the pain, something we all need to do at some point. If we’re lucky, we learn that. ‘I was good to you, you idiot!’” Magness has long connected deeply with her audience, and “I Was Good to You Baby” is no exception. Renowned for her commanding voice and nuanced portrayals of love and loss, she has earned numerous accolades, including the prestigious B.B. King Artist of the Year title, and a Grammy nomination for Love Wins Again. Her remarkable journey from overcoming personal tragedies detailed in her memoir, Weeds Like Us, to becoming one of today’s most celebrated blues artists speaks volumes about her resilience and talent. With over 16 albums to her credit, Magness’s impact on the blues genre is profound. Her 2022 release, Hard to Kill, exemplified themes of strength and survival motifs she continues to explore in her latest work. “I’m happier now in many ways than I’ve ever been,” she reveals. “But that doesn’t mean the heartbreak in these songs disappears; it just finds a new place within me.” Stay tuned for more details on the upcoming album, which promises another rich, soulful journey through the blues tradition and the human experience.
