Emmy, Grammy and Tony-winning actor and singer Cynthia Erivo picks her Tracks Of My Years.
Alos a double Oscar nominee, the acclaimed theatre and big screen performer who's been described as "the entertainment industry鈥檚 #1 choice as a triple threat.", Cynthia has been praised for roles in Hollywood blockbuster films such as 鈥淗arriet鈥� and 鈥淏ad Times at the El Royale鈥�, along with Broadway roles including the main character Celie in the stage version of 'The Color Purple'.
Although she grew up in South London, it's been America who's embraced Cynthia more so far, with 'Chewing Gum' being one of her few British screen credits. She has, however, worked with acclaimed British director Steve McQueen on his film adaptation of 'Widows', one of her highest profile movie roles to date.
Cynthia has just released her debut album of original music as a recording artist. 'Ch. 1 Vs. 1', which has been described as "a 12-track journey into her mental and emotional landscape鈥攐ne marked by heartbreak and sadness, but also triumph and growth". Cynthia co-wrote every track on the album, including 'The Good', which was Radio 2-playlisted earlier this year.
The next two tracks Cynthia has chosen come from Brandy and Prince. Plus Ken's got another round of the legendary PopMaster music quiz; your dedications with today's love song, and there's also the record and album of the week.
