R.E.D.

Genre-defying artist, *R E D* (a.k.a. *Shalynn Brown*), brings a new and intensely felt expression to the Chicago underground music scene. This music is a sensory experience, one that blossoms in the eardrums and awakens the depths of the root chakra. A heady brew of early R&B samples, jazz, and neo-soul elements cohere over beats that recall early Chicago warehouse music. *R E D's* strong yet vulnerable vocals riff on themes ranging from love of mary jane to the tension between authentic self-expression and societal expectations.
