A great debut. She is one of the most under-rated artists. A must-have for contemporary Blues fans - and for lovers of old-school Soul.
Turn the Heat Up! Poster
This debut album from bluesman Johnny Copeland's daughter is a powerful surprise. Powerful, because Shemekia Copeland's voice has the impact of a mature vocalist's despite her youth; a surprise, because it's so rare to hear such a great performance from one so young. Whether it's sassy attitude on the title track, or the subtle power of "Ghetto Child," Copeland is always in control. We'll be hearing a lot more from her in the years to come. --Genevieve WilliamsDespite the growing number of young blues musicians who've come out of the woodwork recently, it's still extremely rare to find even one with the fire and power of previous generations. Shemekia Copeland is that rarity; recorded when Copeland was 18 years old, Turn the Heat Up shows the power and maturity of a much older artist. This maturity is enough to make Copeland's debut exceptional in itself. But if Copeland's singing doesn't quite match, say, Koko Taylor's, she shows a potential in that regard that is almost daunting, especially on the more up-tempo songs such as "Your Mama's Talking." "Has Anybody Seen My Man?" and the title track are excellent examples of Copeland's talent; supported by an excellent backing band, she shines. And unlike many younger artists, she infuses slower songs like "Married to the Blues" and "Ghetto Child" with a raw, no-frills power that leaves no room for sappiness or sentimentality. A very impressive debut from a singer who must be ranked among the genre's finest artists. --Genevieve Williams
