American songwriter and jazz vocalist René Marie recently released Sound of Red via Motéma Records.
Tastemaker Jazz station WBGO recently premiered the album writing, “In the years of this millennium, some extraordinary singers have come along. We can hear in them Ella or Sarah or Nat or Billie, and some of them we already know by one name. Cat. Cyrille. Gregory. Cecile. Sound of Red is a new album from ... René."
The 11-track is said to be mostly autobiographical to René, who explained, “I wanted to make a record that people could go back to again and again to excavate their emotions. We cover things over every day. We have to in order to move through the day and move through our lives. We can’t always afford to be vulnerable to things like pain, loss, confusion, hurt and frustration. I want this record to provide some kind of architecture to provide support in those moments when our emotions are not necessarily happy ones.”
