From a Whisper to a Scream

About This Music Release

From a Whisper to a Scream is a 9 songs music release by Esther Phillips. It was released on February 1, 1972 by Kudu Records.

This powerful soul album marks the beginning of Esther Phillips' celebrated run with the CTI/Kudu label. Blending raw emotion, bluesy depth, and sophisticated arrangements, the record showcases her incredible vocal range — from gritty intensity to tender vulnerability. Highlights include her iconic cover of Gil Scott-Heron’s “Home Is Where the Hatred Is” and the dramatic title track.

With lush strings, tight funk rhythms, and top-tier jazz musicians (including Hank Crawford and David Liebman), the album delivers a perfect mix of southern soul, jazz-funk, and emotional R&B. It remains one of Esther Phillips’ finest and most influential works from the 1970s.
