N’Kenge
Two E Bar, NYC, May 7, 2018
Reviewed by Marilyn Lester for Cabaret Scenes
When it comes to power vocals, who ya’ gonna call? Why, N’Kenge, of course. The diva (and she is that in the truest sense of the word) not only has a voice of immense depth and range, but she knows how to use it to its best advantage. In this turn at the (relatively) new venue, Two E Bar in the Pierre Hotel, she assessed the dynamic of the very intimate space and tailored her presentation to its intimacy. Thus, the singer chose mostly toned- down, slower tempos on her numbers, while still delivering the strength and nuance of singing that she’s known for.

Referencing her run as Mary Wells in Broadway’s Motown, she began with spirited renditions of “Two Lovers” and “My Guy.”
With a naturalistic style, the singer’s narrative also was recounted with intimacy in mind. Hitting the highlights of her career and life, her very personal story was illustrated with numbers such as “Poor Sweet Baby“ and “One for My Baby (and One More for the Road).” Tenderest moments were in reference to her husband and three-year-old daughter, Jahzara Martina, with “At Last” and “I Got Love.

Demonstrating her range, she dipped into opera and sang an impressive “Habanera” (“Dat’s Love”) from Carmen/Carmen Jones, a peek into her upcoming musical about Dorothy Dandridge, star of the film version of Carmen Jones. Saving her diva-bility for last, N’Kenge belted a “wicked” “Defying Gravity” and summed up the theme of her show with “Ridin’ High.” Music director Josh Knight provided yeoman artistry at the piano.
