THE VAULT

Posted in Colonel Red music, Event, New music, News on February 13, 2012 by Colonel Red /Rufflanguage

‘SLEEPER’

The true honed in sound of CoLoNeLReD, blending ‘half time Rhymical beats’
with haunting bass lines, raunch guitar lead, crazy synths, topped
with diamond size vocals!
This sound echoes LOUD from the Tribal Rhymes studio, Redz very own music camp,
where Redz writes, performs, produces, and mixes his entire sound!

The story:
Redz created ColRed from a discontented heart at
how he felt his creative
life as an artist always fell mercy to the exploitation of others..!
This no more says the Colonel!
Now a new chapter begins,..A new expression {fugue art} ensues,
releasing the multi-talented
diverse creativity of all that brought Redz to this humble place he
calls ‘nowhere-everywhere’,
it begins to unravel..spawning some of the most profound poetic & joyful
sounds, reflection,
iration,liberating yet still so soothing,. Why? is the popular
question..To heal is the only real answer.

This new expression was & still is for the sole purpose of healing
oneself. A necessary process
we all must go through in order to embrace the higher self, (but) this
transition cannot, will not come without
sacrifice of some sort.
Redz choice was simple,
“I will create music for absolutely nothing in return,
this way anything beautiful is possible.”
This was the birth of ‘SLEEPER’ and this is the philosophy of the
artist known to many as CoLoNeLReD.

Posted In New Music,Stream by Speeakz

Ahead of it’s September 9th physical release the good folks over at Toyko Dawn Records have offered up a preview stream of Colonel Red’s new album Keep Walkin’.

Deep rooted in (neo)Soul, Jazz and Funk – this album is sure to satisfy most connoisseurs, especially those partial to little D’Angelo, Badu, Saadiq etc.

Red’s voice is beautifully toned, technically fantastic. His melodies and harmonies are excellently structured and sonically superb – the music which accompanies him (soulful piano & guitar sections, funky horns etc) is neoteric but still familiar and welcoming.

Keep Walkin’ is digitally available now.

‘Keep Walkin’ With Colonel Red

SoulUK | 08/10/2011 at 2:00 PM | Leave a Comment

Colonel Red has been popping up on my radar from time to time for the last five or six years. Born in my hometown of Birmingham, UK but now residing in London, the half-Jamaican, half-English singer/producer has worked alongside an eclectic mix of respected soul artists including Teddy Pendergrass, Anita Baker, Bugz In The Attic, Amp Fiddler, and many more. In addition to his collaborative work, Colonel Red has released two solo albums, 2005′s Blue Eye Blak and 2009′s Sweet Liberation, and he is now gearing up to release his third, Keep Walkin’, on the Tokyo Dawn label. Those familiar with Tokyo Dawn’s output may have heard Red on The Heart Volume Two compilation or SoulParlor’s evoluzion, but now we can get our hands on his full 15-track TD debut. The album will appeal to fans of early Raphael Saadiq, D’Angelo, or those craving a modern take on the classic sounds of Marvin Gaye. Yes, this may well sound like the usual PR hype but you don’t have to take my word for it, press play on the slow-burn groove “Rain A Fall” and the chilled-out “I Will Be There” below and decide for yourselves. The CD is scheduled for release on September 9th, but you can preview all tracks/grab an advance digital download from the Tokyo Dawn site.

KEEP WALKIN’ release Sept.9,2011

Posted in Colonel Red music, Event, New music, News, Press on August 14, 2011 by Colonel Red /Rufflanguage

Colonel Red’s new album ‘Keep Walkin’ resonates with the rich influences and experiences of his heritage, yet still speaks with honest humility of familiar themes of faith, hope and love, that captures the essence of the contradictions and challenges that come our way, making the most of our lives, living our dreams and finding love in a society under pressure.

Where it all began’ ‘An album of Excellence’ for Lead singer of Pride n Politix Nikki S Romillie who later reinvented himself as the artist now Known as ‘CoLoNeLReD’ This Smooth sophisticated intricate jazz-soul sound that once overwhelmed audience’s with its fresh & exciting approach to modern soul music, is as fresh today as it was when it 1st came out many years ago.. Album ‘Changes’ released on EastWest/Atlantic records Pride n’ Politix I SALUTE!
