About the Artists
Paula Cole won the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1998 and was the first woman nominated in her own right for the Producer of the Year Grammy. A stint as the lead female vocalist for Peter Gabriel on his 1993–94 Secret World Tour led to a trio of ’90s albums that established Cole as a fearless singer-songwriter, known for her genre-bending and boundary-breaking sound. In recent years, she honed a love for jazz and folk standards, while her newest album, Lo (2024), stays true to her authentically soul-stirring style as it beautifully blends vulnerability with joy. This Fire cemented Cole as one of the most distinctive voices of the 1990s, earning her a headlining spot on Sarah McLachlan’s Lilith Fair tour. She has collaborated with everyone from Peter Gabriel, Jason Isbell, and Dolly Parton to Herbie Hancock, Emmylou Harris, and Amy Lee of Evanescence.
Rett Madison’s new album, One for Jackie, draws inspiration from the storytelling she admires in Appalachian folks traditions of West Virginia (her home state), the ’70s output of Bob Dylan and Dusty Springfield, and the music her mother raised her on. Beyond borrowing from the past, One for Jackie cements itself as a modern American classic, for fans of acts like Angel Olsen, Phoebe Bridgers, and Brandi Carlile. Recorded in Tornillo, Texas, at the storied Sonic Ranch and produced by the Grammy-winning Tyler Chester, One for Jackie further elevates Madison’s dextrous musicianship, while her singular voice commands a room from the outset on opening piano ballad “Jacqueline." The collaboration between Madison, Chester, and an assortment of studio musicians creates a seamless vision, as Madison’s already exceptional guitar and piano playing are joined by synths, assorted percussion instruments, strings, organ, and mournful slide guitar.
