They're Calling Me Home

They're Calling Me Home is the second collaborative album by American singer-songwriter Rhiannon Giddens and Italian composer Francesco Turrisi, released through Nonesuch Records on April 9, 2021.

[2] Uncut described it as an "extended mediation on the expat experience, with yearningly hymnal renditions", while Mojo called "the pair's musical chemistry a potent one".

[2] Jim Hynes of Glide Magazine wrote that "while this work may not be as riveting and stunning as its predecessor, due mostly to the familiarity of many of the tunes, that dynamic cuts both ways because there are few interpreters as adept as Giddens for traditional fare.

[3] Jude Rogers of The Guardian called it "a big, beautiful album, a showcase for direct, punchy emotions and Giddens' vocal versatility" and felt that its "dazzling examples" of tracks such as the Italian lullaby "Nenna Nenna", the title track and "Niwel Goes to Town", will "live on".

Each track is an emotional glimpse of their musical DNA: reworked [... and] refreshed with the virtuosic pulse of two of the world's finest maestros".
