Lost Up In Loving You, the new album by Davell Crawford, “The Piano Prince of New Orleans” on Artworks Records, marks an eagerly awaited return from semi-retirement while bringing a long-present but less familiar facet of his artistry to the forefront. Though audiences have come to associate Davell Crawford with the sound and traditions of New Orleans, this intimate collection places his jazz vocals center stage, revealing a side of him that has always been there, now finally given the space to shine.

Inspired by the remarkable women who have shaped his life and musical journey, alongside legendary vocalists including Roberta Flack, Sarah Vaughan, Abbey Lincoln, and Sade, Davell Crawford brings soulful sensitivity and a deeply personal touch to a selection of jazz standards and timeless songs exploring love, longing, memory, and acceptance. His sophisticated, deeply evocative vocal approach is front and center, the primary focus of Lost Up In Loving You. He is joined by Belgian pianist Eric Legnini, bassist Laurent Vernery, and drummer Stéphane Huchard, with delicate string arrangements by Brazilian composer Maycon Ananias adding warmth and depth to the album’s sound.

More than a return, Lost Up In Loving You is a heartfelt expression of Davell Crawford’s musical identity, honoring the women, artists, and relationships that have shaped him while bringing a long-overlooked dimension of his artistry into focus.
