Musical Style: Pop-soul, Ballad

Music Influences: Alicia Keys

Music Inspiration: This tune represents the phenomenon of being connected to people in far away places and from other lifetimes. Through energy, coincidence, and symbolism, there is a spiritual thread that keeps familiar souls connected, and if we listen, we can hear them talking to us. We may even feel them listening for us to go first.

Musical Style: Afro-Beat, Afro-fusion, Funk

Music Influences: Fela Kuti

Music Inspiration: Yeah, just wanted to combine the real Afrobeat flavor with the western funky beat.

Lyrics Inspiration: The beat came before the lyrics, as we were building up the beat, the lyrics were coming. It took a bit of time though to get it to a full song.

Artist Statement: Ogbonge song is a song that is full of life and TVL do hope it will make a difference.

Musical Style: Afrobeat, Anagobeat, Sweet Afrobeat

Musical Influences: Antibalas, Fela Kuti

Lyrical Inspiration: And when The Voice Of Lajorun got inspired by the phrase "Cold Badly" we decided to write towards a spiritual maiden whose source of energy revolves around rain drops. She enjoys dancing in the when the afro beat plays.

Artist Quote: 

Track Description: “Cold Baby” by The Voice of Lajorun is an ode to the mystique of maidens who find comfort in dancing in the rain. Rather than being influenced by outside sounds and physical presence, they are guided by their bodies and minds interpreting the sacred rhythms that Mother Nature chose for them to express. Co-written by bandleader/vocalist Ta’ye Adefemi and lyricist Kester Elkanemi, the Lagos-based “Anago-beat’ collective cites spiritual communication and guidance by ancestors and primary influence in their music steeped in influence of greats like Fela Kuti and Orlando Julius. Kester recalls Kaleta (ZoZo Afrobeat/Super Yamba Band) using the term “cold baby” during a musical interaction that gave the duo spiritual understanding of the term and they digested the phrase to depict a strange, unique Afrocentric maiden who enjoys dancing in the rain accompanied with the Afrocentric rhythmic ambiance. The track is the group’s fourth Color Red single produced by Justin Prizant of Session Resurrection.

Musical Influences: Galactic, Lettuce, The Meters

Track Description: “The Cutdown” gets its name from a late-night harvest on the eve of Polyrhythmics’ departure to their annual late-night appearances during New Orleans Jazz Fest. Guitarist Ben Bloom imagined the track setting the scene for a vibrant late night on Frenchmen St late at night during the city’s flagship musical gathering where modern electronic sounds are met with spirited funk bands performing to eager crowds at iconic venues. “The Cutdown” is the soundtrack to stepping outside to get some air, running into friends casually swaying to a second-line street party, and raising the vibes even higher. This track is off of the group’s 2020 full-length LP ‘Man From the Future’ and the digital single release is in celebration of the record’s second vinyl pressing coming out on Color Red in spring 2022.

Musical Style: Psychedelic Funk

Album Description: This is a funk record. Multiple-horns, multiple rhythms, and multiple players. This album is a straight-up instrumental attack, where the only voice you hear is the collective force of these eight players hitting all original cuts live and off the floor. Polyrhythmics are not trying to emulate or recreate something that has already been done. This is not “retro,” or “throwback;” this is music being made together, today in The Now. The raw, fresh and genuine sounds captured on Libra Stripes are an instrumental testament to the universal groove and appeal of funk and afrobeat music.

Color Red is proud to release the 2022 remaster of this monumental album.

Musical Style: Psychedelic Funk, Instrumental Funk

Musical Influences: Eryka Badu, Jamiroquai, Beck, Soulive

Music Inspiration: I was trying to capture the concept of extreme mood swings resulting from mental illness. The Corpus Callosum is the bridge between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. The opposing A, (funky) and B, (music for love makin'), sections are meant to illustrate 2 disparate emotional sensations. Angular and energetic vs relaxed, groovy and mildly psychedelic. - Scott Morning

Artist Statement: The tune was only half complete until the night before the recording session. I wrote the B section that day and we rehearsed it for the first time the same night. The guys convinced me to go ahead with recording it despite our lack of familiarity with the second half of the tune. I feel the results capture the intention and I really dig the performance on the album. There was some studio magic that day, particularly with the subdued keys solo. - Scott Morning

Track Description: “Corpus Callosum” by Polyrhythmics is an aural reflection of the nerve fiber bundle that connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Trumpeter Scott Morning wanted to capture the concept of extreme mood swings and illustrate two disparate emotional sensations. The A section is funky, angular, and energetic while the B section is sensual, groovy, and mildly psychedelic. The track is off of the band’s record ‘Man from the Future’ released on Color Red in May 2020.

Musical Influences:  Sisters Love, The Jackson Sisters

Musical Inspiration: In 2015, there was a particular sense of urgency to make and release this message to the world when brutal authoritarian forces that sought to divide people using the age-old tactics of lies, hate, fear, bigotry, racism, and misogyny sought to take and consolidate power without regard for the fellow inhabitants of planet earth. 

Lyrical Inspiration: The lyrics are extremely elementary, Everything in this song is hanging from the words "I BELIEVE IN LOVE" with the first 'verse' being constructed almost entirely of a well-worn aphorism, and the second verse being a chance for me to state my position that this material world is actually an illusion, made manifest to us through our physical senses which are, themselves, made up of the very same illusory substance. But without being too heavy-handed about it, the words of the second verse leave a lot up to the interpretation of the listener. 

Artist Statement: The song is a call to those who Believe in Love to shout it out, scream it out, sing it out, and then set that sentiment into action.

Musical Influences: The Meters, Cameo, Duran Duran, Vulfpeck, Brittany Howard, Quincy Jones, Jamiroquai, Stevie Wonder, Prince

Track Description: Stephen Dusenbury reimagines Freekbass’ “Runaway” in a stretched-out arrangement that incorporates layers of horns, percussion, and classic elements of funk and soul—all played live with no samples or loops. The Berklee College of Music alum with accolades that include hitting the Billboard charts (Gia, Audio Playground, Noah) and appearing on the Grammy ballot (pop remix for “Orpheus” by Sergio Mendez) is the perfect collaborator to take Freekbass’ time capsule of 80s dance floor funk mixed with futuristic 2025 aesthetics and accentuate it with his compositional instincts and dynamic persona. The chemistry and funk-forward thinking have galvanized an in-person meeting between Dusenbury and Freekbass which embodies the artist-centric sense of agency and ethos Color Red fosters within their international network of artists.

We here at Red Night Recordings are very excited for our first original track release by none other than Chicago's own Emmaculate. 
 
Growing up on the outskirts of Chicago, Emmaculate aka Eric Welton was exposed to the sounds of House Music in the late 80's as a young teenager. Eric was nicknamed Emmaculate as a play on words because of his immaculate attention to detail and quality. 2017 marked the year that Emmaculate began releasing music as an artist himself. His break out single, ""Do It"" ft. vocalist Kaye Fox, was released on Terry Hunter's T's Box Records and reached the top 10 Soulful House chart on Traxsource. He has gone on to become one of the most important House Music producers in the scene today. 
 
As its title suggests, “Cosmic Funk” is a groovy, spacey, uptempo disco-funk journey to the center of the dancefloor, with ethereal synths and organs anchored by a driving bassline that will take you to the outer reaches of the groove.
