Love Tape by Marquis Hill
When trumpeter and composer Marquis Hill set out to record his eighth studio album he decided to tackle a theme repeated often in music: Love; in particular, self love. In doing so he assembled a collection of interviews of women sharing their perspective on the subject. For Hill, this resulted in further confirmation of a familiar adage: “Before you can love someone else, you must first love yourself.“ On Marquis Hill’s Love Tape, this rings true.
