Judy Whitmore is a phenomenal woman. She is a jack of all trades, one who is not only an acclaimed vocalist but a licensed jet pilot, best-selling author, licensed psychotherapist, and theater producer. Her new song is called "The House I Live In" and it is a stunning re-imagination of the tune made famous by Frank Sinatra and Sam Cooke. Her gorgeous rendition is shared alongside a picturesque music video showing beautiful scenery throughout the country and the people who make America so special. "The House I Live In" is a standout from her new EP This Is Home. The six song EP is a celebration of America's 250th birthday.
With "The House I Live In", Judy sings lyrics celebrating an ode to her home, the United States of America. The song describes what America means to her: democracy, amazing people of all races, freedom of speech, and religion. Lyrics including, "The house I live in / And the people that I meet / The children in the playground / All races and religions / That's America to me," shows this narrative. Judy's remarkable and sophisticated version features lush, orchestral arrangements led by seven-time GRAMMY®-nominated composer Chris Walden. Backed by a full 39-piece ensemble featuring members of the Pacific Jazz Orchestra, the music carries both sonic richness and emotional resonance. The standout though is Judy's expressive, powerful and warm vocals, shaped by years of experience across cabaret, jazz, and theater. Her interpretations feel deeply personal, reflecting not only her musical roots but also her strong sense of national pride.
"The House I Live In" and This Is Home stand out as both a celebration and a reflection, honoring tradition while inviting listeners to reconnect with the meaning behind the music. With its elegant production, accomplished musicianship, and genuine sentiment, the music positions Judy Whitmore as a distinctive voice in the contemporary interpretation of the American songbook.
