Wounded Soul
(In the Closet Productions)
A
 Website:http://www.ingriddjohnson.com
|
Comprised of two CDs, Ready for Change and Ready to Love, Wounded Soul is a sprawling, emotional and intoxicating blend of R&B, hip hop and spoken-word. It all stems from the indefatigable spirit of Ingrid D. Johnson, a born-again singer/songwriter whose work is intensely personal but also eminently catchy. When she’s not being a chanteuse (Tired, Un Loveable or Hurry Up), she’s delivering fierce spoken-word rants or joining the likes of Fenom, Maiko Watson, NDU and Flo on jams such as My Soul, You & Me or Time for a Change. A portion of the proceeds is being donated to The Laurel Centre.

“Using her music to heal wounded souls”

Last Updated: 20th January 2010, 5:51pm
In a world of shallow, self-centred pop music, Ingrid D. Johnson is clearly an artist with a higher calling. The local singer, poet and spoken-word performer uses her music to overcome the trauma of sexual abuse. Not surprisingly, Johnson speaks from the heart — even when answering my dumb questions.

“… But He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. ” ISAIAH 53: 5-6

Johnson’s evolving songwriting, arranging, producing skills to create the final product.
