Info for I Forgive You

Allow Cynthia Erivo to reintroduce herself. The multifaceted Grammy®, Emmy®, and Tony® Award-winner and 3x Academy Award® nominated actress, singer, author, and producer bares her soul on her sophomore album I Forgive You.

Tenderly blending the sounds of pop, R&B, folk, Britpop, yodeling, wailing, and gospel, Cynthia leaps headfirst into a bold new chapter of her artistry. Impassioned and warm, heartbreaking and vulnerable, I Forgive You is a soft testimony, a haunting plea to be witnessed with an open heart.

With each track on I Forgive You, Cynthia hopes “that people see the human in me. When you're in the public eye, people forget that you are human because they see you as an entity, but not actually flesh and bone, just like everybody else.”

The music, her story, is a braised reminder that we’re all just flesh and bone. The good and the bad – and everything in between – make up the stories of our lives, and Cynthia Erivo is a sight to behold.

“This is all just part of the human experience.”
