London/Montreal Quebec
COLONEL RED UK Recording/Performing artist/Producer.
Label: 'Ink Rebellion' 'Wireless Soldierz' Brand New Release out on Tokyo Dawn Records - 03.06.2017 COLONEL RED www.colonelred.com
Colonel Red’s foray into the music industry began when Epic Record company giant Sylvia Rhone signed the then lead singer, Nikki Romillie, of Pride n’ Politix, to Atlantic Records. An accompanying publishing deal with Warner Bros. established the artiste, now known as Colonel Red, as one of the UK’s top cutting edge singer/songwriters.
Fast forward to 2015, any lover of music, book & film will love the new album by COLONEL RED 'Palace Full Of Miracles' due for release 15.04.2015 on the Ink Rebellion label.
This Neo Soul Rock offering reads inspiring & socially conscious from cover to cover. Its filmic qualities make it a great sounding album to listen to, as well as possessing a powerful visual presence, visualizing every song.
Palace Full of Miracles' explores the Rhythm & Poetry of life, totally contagious, hinging on tension, both musically & actually; every note, lyric, hook & ad-lib has meaning, no periphery, only bare potency.
COLONEL RED for the past few years has been making a clear departure from being a highly featured vocal artiste appearing on all the latest & greatest from the West London Neo soul scene to the worldwide music scene all over. During the turn of the Millennium through till 2011 Redz purged himself as a broken soul don of this era.
Still, 2012 saw a shift in Redz’ creative direction. With his debut release on the 'Ink Rebellion' label! the highly acclaimed 'Redlight' album, entirely self produced, see's Redz now become the poetic architect, tapping into all aspects of his musical roots fusing an evocative uber-rhymic groove with sublime & meaningful lyrics, all woven together by passionate vocal performances, defining what can only be described as COLONEL RED's very own British Urban Soul Rock.
'Life in the Middle' has no place for me ‘, say's Redz'!,’ my heritage being born to a black father & a white mother had a huge impact on me growing up as a child & still does right through to this very day as an artiste. The way I look at life & my place in the world, all stems from this point & the values I have to come to place upon music, which now fuels a greater good.
My belief that music contains great healing powers inspires me no end to give my best & in doing so, receive the best in return. I try to reach as many people as humanly possible with the same inspiration that inspires me.’
Life, love, philosophy & control are amongst the many topics expressed on COLONEL RED's latest studio long player, although musically influenced by an assortment of Soul Experimental Predecessors 'Palace Full of Miracles' is raw, enchanting, timeless & stands alone; once you listen, you will surely be touched by its’ magic.
