Renée Elise Goldsberry sat down with Kyle Meredith to dive deep into her vibrant debut album, Who I Really Am. The Tony-winning powerhouse, best known for her role as Angelica Schuyler in Hamilton, is proving she’s just as compelling behind a mic as she is on stage. Blending pop with the theatrical soul of Broadway, she’s crafted a record that defies genre while still feeling timeless. Listen above or wherever you get your podcasts.
“This album took four years because I just wanted to express everything,” Goldsberry explains. “I didn’t want to fit into one box — I finally realized that’s my power.” She opens up about tracks like “Love Returned,” a spoken-word storytelling gem that channels Ani DiFranco’s raw intimacy, and “Staring,” a bombastic, bluesy swing that showcases her ability to groove.
Of course, Hamilton remains a cherished chapter. She revisited “Satisfied” for the album and recently reunited with the original cast for the Tony Awards. “We’re ridiculously silly when we’re together,” she admits. “It’s love all over the room.” Meanwhile, her other family, the Girls5eva crew, might still have more stories to tell. “I dream we’ll be back in 10 years, dressing alike, singing harmony, taking over malls that probably won’t exist,” she jokes.
