First Listen: Toni Redd is "Stronger Than Before"

Share this article

    We've been fans of singer extraordinaire Toni Redd for a few years now. Her expressive alto voice reminds some of the great Phyllis Hyman, but Toni has her own musical vision -- one that classic soul and jazz lovers will love. She’s made a career sharing the stage with many of the biggest stars of our time, and has become known as a “singer’s singer,” someone who other stars look to as a great vocalist.

    Last Fall, Toni’s delivered another musical gem in the form of her album Her Reddness. On it she practically defined adult soul music, bringing a bunch of melodic tunes with great guest musicians like Kirk Whalum and her beautiful voice front and center. Perhaps our favorite song from that excellent album was "Stronger Than Before," a song with a big hook and an even better vocal performance. It's the kind of song that will be tough to get out of your head once you've heard it.
