Ledisi - For Dinah (2025)

"For Dinah" is a deeply personal tribute from Grammy-winning vocalist Ledisi to her lifelong hero, the legendary, but too often overlooked, Dinah Washington. Produced by jazz heavyweight Christian McBride, the album blends Ledisi’s signature soul with Washington’s bold spirit, reclaiming space for a pioneer who made it possible for women like her to thrive. This passion project channels the glamour, and sensuality that defined Dinah’s legacy — all filtered through Ledisi’s singular voice. The album features standout collaborations, including a duet with Grammy winning vocalist Gregory Porter and appearances by top-tier musicians like Paul Jackson Jr. and rising star Michael King. More than a musical salute, "For Dinah" is a thank-you letter from one powerful Black woman to another — an homage to an artist who cleared the path that Ledisi has spent her life navigating.
