The Beauty of Song, Part Ten: Lindsey Webster

I'm closing out this series - and the year 2023 - with Lindsey Webster, who is part of the new generation of contemporary jazz singers.

Born in 1988 in upstate New York, the same year WQCD-FM, one of the first contemporary jazz stations in the country, first went on the air in New York City, Lindsey Webster grew up in the Big Apple studying the cello but eventually switched to vocals.  When she began her recording career in 2013, WQCD-FM was long since gone, but Ms. Webster has kept on going.

Following the release of her self-titled debut album in 2013, Ms. Webster has put out five more albums, including 2016's Back to Your Heart, 2018's A Woman Like Me, and 2022's Reasons.  Her hit singles on Billboard's, ahem, "Smooth Jazz" chart include "Next To Me," " Open Up," and her number one song on that chart, "Where Do You Want To Go." 

That's it for beautiful women in music and the year.  Back soon in 2024.
