Laura Nyro – Mother's Spiritual

Limited edition of 750 numbered copies on translucent pink coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Mother's Spiritual is the eighth studio album by New York City-born singer, songwriter, and pianist Laura Nyro. The album was originally released at the beginning of 1984, following a year of difficult and expensive recording sessions, and came more than five years after it's well-received predecessor, Nested. Musically, the album stands out as the most serene and easygoing of all Nyro's works, presenting a more maternal tone compared to the wilder and more experimental nature of albums like Eli and the Thirteenth Confession and New York Tendaberry. Thematically, the focus shifts from personal explorations of passion and love to broader societal concerns, such as environmentalism, motherhood, and feminism.
