Where it came from
Released in 1993 on Giant Records, Miki Sings Billie was conceived as a heartfelt homage to the legendary jazz vocalist Billie Holiday. At the time, Howard was a prominent figure in R&B, and the album served as a stylistic pivot that allowed her to explore the standards and vocal nuances of the Great American Songbook, moving away from her contemporary soul hits to embrace the torch songs that defined Holiday's legacy.
The production sought to capture a sophisticated, timeless atmosphere, leaning into minimalist arrangements that placed Howard's vocal versatility at the forefront. While the album was received as a respectful and ambitious stylistic exercise for Howard, it remains a notable example of nineties R&B artists engaging with jazz traditions, reflecting a broader trend of soul performers paying tribute to the foundations of their genre.
