You're the one

"Giddens' resume to date is the kind of thing which prompts awe not only at her range, but her time-management skills. It is difficult to know what she'll do next. For the moment, however, there is ample reason to be glad she did this".

"Giddens creates what is effectively her crossover album, touching upon pop and soul without ever losing sight of either her roots or her impeccable taste ... Giddens may be emphasizing a different side of her personality - and perhaps courting a different audience - but she's made no compromises".

"You're The One is yet another extraordinary offering from a great American musician whose work is consistently and superbly "beyond category," to quote Duke Ellington. One looks forward to the next".

"[Giddens] hasn't compromised her artistry to reach the mainstream, she's merely broadened her approach with the support of producer Jack Splash (Kendrick Lamar, Alicia Keys) who has helped her to sound funkier than ever before. This is especially true on the horn-driven opener 'Too Little, Too Late, Too Bad' on which her voice vaults from a guttural growl to a soulful soprano. Moving effortlessly from funk to folk, she gets out her banjo on the title track before the bluegrass of the Dolly Parton-esque 'If You Don't Know How Sweet It Is' gives way to the Bessie Smith-referencing blues of 'You Put the Sugar in My Bowl' ... Wonderful stuff".
