Print edition onlyįourteen years after her only album as Blue Roses, the Shipley singer-songwriter elegantly steps out under her own nameĪ crystalline, shimmering pop enterprise that dares to ask what a project might look like when a synthesizer takes a backseat to a career-defining vocal performance. even better are the tracks that dispense with the drums and moves into woozy, beatless territory, using choral harmonies and FX-laden electric pianos. "D4N" is a shimmering piece of neo-soul featuring vocals from kindred spirit Sampha. Radio Red’s’ lyrics seem to be analogies exploring the limits of boundaries and not-fully understood experiencesĮxpansive, restless, subtly volatile, Radio red is intriguing enough to keep it locked. 7.2K 306K views 7 years ago The book is now available to buy from and features unseen artwork, photography and poetry from the brothers.
