A VOCAL powerhouse who captures the attention of millions when she appeared on US version of The Voice has released her new single.
Lisa Ramey, know for her exuding soul-infused fervour and rock ‘n’ roll edge, has just unveiled Keep Your Lamps.
Honouring Black History Month, the track movingly pays tribute as it recognises R&B as one of the integral blueprints of American music history.
Ramey’s latest offering sees impactful spoken word resonate with listeners, referencing misery in hate and recognising the value of righteousness.
As sweet, mellow keys surround Ramey’s unique vocal timbre, unhurried drum patterns support the composition while the multi-talented artist confronts prevalent issues and continues to discover a pure means of translating and understanding her experiences.
Assisted by a driving bassline evocative of Ramey’s previous releases, Keep Your Lamps leads the listener on an odyssey of sonic goodness as superb instrumentation compliments Ramey’s lionhearted approach to her creations.
With one foot in historic music traditions and another boldly stepping into the future, the old soul continues to break boundaries while effortlessly wrapping listeners up in a whirlwind of full-bodied, rich tones – a result completely tantalising to any well-versed music lover.
Speaking about the latest offering, she said: “R&B is crucial to the music world. It was called “race music” in the 40s. People wanted to hate it and call it “different and not worth a listen” and now it has taken over the music industry.
“The way some artists stretch the word “baby” for bars and bars of music. Where running never gets tired and where I feel most at home. R&B is another one of our major blueprints in popular American music history. I wasn’t gonna release this album without it.”
