Meaning To Tell Ya
Molly Johnson’s voice evokes the aura of dark, smoky night clubs of a bygone era. It speaks to an emotional depth that few vocalists in any genre ever reach. Like the woman behind it, it is a voice filled with humour, joy, surprise, sassiness and, of course, love.

It speaks to an emotional depth that few vocalists in any genre ever reach. Like the woman behind it, it is a voice filled with humour, joy, surprise, sassiness and, of course, love.

‘Meaning To Tell Ya’, Molly’s highly anticipated new album was produced by multiple Grammy Award winning producer Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman, Madeleine Peyroux, Melody Gardot, Holly Cole), and the album itself, is more than a jazz record, it’s funk, it’s soul, it’s groove, played by some of Canada’s best musicians including Robi Botos (Piano), Mike Downes (Bass), Davide DiRenzo (Drums/Percussion), Justin Abedin (Guitar) and Pete Kuzma (Hammond B3).

Says Molly: “This is a record I have been wanting to make for years, I can’t wait to share it with everyone!” Says Larry: “Molly has a voice that is who she is as a person. Molly’s voice has the kind of character that when you hear it, you hear who she is and you hear her story, you hear what she’s done and where she has been and that is what I’m drawn to in a voice…”

‘Meaning To Tell Ya’ features 10 songs that include Molly’s interpretations of such classics including “Inner City Blues” (Marvin Gaye), “Boogie Street” (Leonard Cohen) and “Lady Day and John Coltrane” (Gil Scot Heron) alongside 7 originals including “Better Than This” and “Meaning To Tell Ya” co-written with long time song-writing partner “Steve MacKinnon, “Gone” , “Protest Song” and “L.O.V.E.” with Davide DiRenzo, “Stop”co-written with producer Larry Klein and David Baerwald and “Together” with bassist Mike Downes.

A highly respected philanthropist, multiple Juno Award winner and Officer Of The Order Of Canada, Molly has raised millions of dollars for people living with HIV/AIDS with her own Kumbaya Foundation, hosted a radio show on CBC Radio 2, and in 2016, launched the Kensington Market Jazz Festival, a yearly event held in September that includes over 400 Canadian musicians, performing 150+ shows over one weekend. Upon release Molly will be touring throughout Canada & Europe to support the album including an album release show in Toronto and heading shows at the Montreal and Halifax Jazz Festivals.

This is incredible...Molly Johnson makes this her own, while paying full homage and respect to the great Marvin Gaye.

Alain Boisseau

I'm totaly addicted to this song-video now. So great. Thanks Molly. Thanks to post.

Dave KLUST

Molly really does Marvin's classic justice.

Vince Weithers

I like her version better. Sad thing is not much has changed since the 70s when Gaye sang it.

Matt Webster

not gonna lie I LOVE the intro where you're just walking... it's the first I've seen you, and it's awesome how big your look is, yet how modest that intro was... also you're amazing!
