Video Premiere: Keturah Allgood “Little Girl”

Here’s the video premiere for ‘Little Girl’ from North Carolina’s Keturah Allgood.  This song is particularly meaningful to her as it is essentially an affirming and loving message to herself.  She says of the song’s theme: “Little Girl is a love letter to myself. To acknowledge and honor the child that was and applaud the woman that is me now. To all of the beautiful souls watching this, know that you can heal, you can grow, you can become the you that you desire to be. Keep shining my sweet ones.”  Often, her soulful voice cracks with emotion as she sings of love for herself but apologising for not having listened or having the strength to save herself.  Delicate and bright finger-picked guitar is the foundation for her warm voice and heartfelt words, which are truly thought-provoking in their sensitive self-reflection.

It’s just over a year since Allgood’s feel-good album ‘Shine’ was released and this video, featuring one of her most personal songs, celebrates the anniversary. Her music is influenced by folk, early blues artists, including like Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith, and gospel singers like Mahalia Jackson and Vestal Goodman.  This blend of styles and approaches helps Allgood to deliver messages of compassion, hope and inspiration, her mission being to make a positive change in the world through her uplifting music.

Anyone heading to AmericanaFest will be able to catch Allgood supporting Naomi Lavamoon at the Lipstick Lounge on the on 17th September and performing in a writers round at the Bluebird cafe the next day.
