about music when she was a little child. During her school
time she already played trumpet and violin and also sang in jazz-bands and
gospel choirs. While Lisa Doby studied on the Wake Forest University, she
joined the a-capella-band Nishati. Thereby her amazing voice was finally
discovered and she started to perform solo. Her huge talent got about very fast
and her audiences grew continually. During a semester in France she finally made
the breakthrough: In the Lionel Hampton Jazz Club in Paris she was discovered by
Patricia Kaas who engaged her as her background singer immediately. Although
Lisa could gather inestimable experiences, she always preferred to compose and
sing her own songs, so that she assembled her own band after an extensive world
tour.
Her sensational debut Free 2 Be, which has appeared in
2006 at Jazzhaus Records and which sold particularly well in France, already
showed her multi-faceted skills. The single That’s Love, an extraction
from her new album, showed in autumn 2008, what one can expect from her new CD
Who We Are. The single was played by various radio stations – partially
in rotation.
Now, by the end of April 2009, the time has come: The album
Who We Are is ready and it fully meets one’s expectations. On the disc
one will find 11 songs, as well as a video on which LISA is performing "Feeling
Good" of Nina Simone.
The opening track Unconditionally already points out
where the trip will be going: The Rhythm & Blues and Soul is fortified by a
well-arranged pinch of rock and complements very well with LISA’s dynamic voice.
This is continued strictly with the second song Who We Are (the title
song of the album) and is underlined with the matching "Outro" again. With the
exceptionally nice song That’s Love a short breather is granted to the
listener, before (s)he must automatically hum along with That Kind Of Day,
which inevitably brings the spring into one’s living room. This feeling
continues with the soulful song Everytime It Rains, before Lisa
demonstrates another side of her and presents the feel-good song Be With You
in a jazzy and swinging arrangement. In Just Because the soft side of the
American takes effect. Hold On is performed in an acoustic version,
before LISA is paying homage to her present home in Alsace with Sankt Amarin.
The many-faceted album is finally rounded with the marvellous French ballad
Plus Fort Que Moi and the already mentioned live video.
