On her eponymous album – consisting original music including eight co-writing credits – Morgan casts an unbreakable spell with a powerhouse voice equally inspired by smoky soul, swaggering R&B, theatrical swing, and a virtuosic classical poise. This Hunter just became even sharper and sexier, making for the perfect introduction to this dynamic, diverse, and definitive young voice.  Alongside the original tracks, the record also boasts powerful and personal renditions of Prince’s ‘Call My Name’ along with Hall & Oates’ ‘She’s Gone’ and Bruce Springsteen’s  ‘Dancing In The Dark’ .

Morgan has had a successful stint on Broadway, where she was featured in The Addams Family with Nathan Lane in addition to Wonderland, Godspell (Turn Back, O Man), and Berry Gordy’s own Motown The Musical as Teena Marie. The latter set the stage for her to properly launch her solo career. Gordy recognized the vocalist’s immense talent, and introduced her to Doug Morris and L.A. Reid, opening the door for a deal with Epic Records in 2012.

“I sing like I’m never going to sing ever again,” Morgan affirms. “I wanted to capture that power and passion every time. At some moments, it sounds flawless. At others, it sounds like it’s going to break.  I’m revealing something about myself with every song. You’ve got to do that. My favourite artists, whether Joni Mitchell or Michael Jackson, are and were, always honest.”
