(February 3, 2017) There are few artists whose name garners respect from fans, critics and fellow artists like Carmen Lundy. And the creative explores the realms of Jazz, Blues, Brazilian Samba and Pop with a multitude of messages on her brilliant new album, Code Noir. Poignant, heartfelt, joyous, shocked, saddened and impassioned are just a few of the emotions conveyed by this wonderfully evocative singer on her upcoming album, CODE NOIR in a highly personal musical voyage.
"These songs encompass the musical and artistic influences from the African diaspora and its influence on jazz and other musical genres – the bossa nova, the blues, swing, funk, the exploration into the avant-garde," says Carmen. "Yet they also encompass the many emotions that are prevalent in this country right now. We are going through tough times with a country that is sorely divided and many of these tracks reflect the feelings that we as human beings are going through on an individual level."
We've heard the album, and it is an absolute gem -- and we can't wait to share it with SoulTrackers. In the meantime, we're proud to give a sneak peek of the disc, with the World Premiere of "I Got Your Number," a cool midtempo that gives the feel of a live club performance, with Carmen doing her thing and an all-star backing group featuring Patrice Rushen on piano, Ben Williams on bass, and more.
Check out Carmen Lundy below, and get ready for CODE NOIR.
