Magness is clearly deep in her own zone throughout Hard to Kill and delivers performances that are bold and brutally honest. “I feel like it’s a retrospective not just of my musical life, but of my life,” she says. “At this point, with what I’ve been through in my life, top to bottom, you know what, the gloves are off, and the rules are, there really aren’t any rules.”

Now Janiva Magness returns with her newest single, “I Was Good to You Baby,” ahead of her forthcoming album expected for release in Spring 2025.

Written by the late Louisiana musician Dave Egan, “Good to You Baby” is a powerful anthem of heartbreak and resilience, delivered with Magness’s signature blend of raw emotion and refined musicality.

Quoting the song’s haunting lyrics, “I was good to you baby, You’ll find out someday… maybe,” Magness reflects with humor on the track’s emotional undercurrent: “Laughing at the pain, which we all need to do at some point or another,” she says. “If we’re lucky, we all learn that. ‘I was good to you, you idiot!’”

World Records will have the new Janiva Magness album as soon it is released! 

Both her music and her book were born from the memories of those times and she bleeds her story for all to hear because she’s an artist and that’s what artists do: they dispense truth.

Janiva uses a foundation of blues, funk, and soul sounds to send that truth out into the world and into the hearts of her many fans.

Janiva Magness, reaffirming her status as one of the top vocalists in the blues business and demonstrating her commitment to continually growing as an artist. Get these songs into your ears today!
