Synopsis

Album Description
Martha Redbone's debut album "Home Of The Brave" is a stunning collection of songs that heralds the arrival of a true heavyweight singer/songwriter in the fashion of a Stevie Wonder or a young Prince. Weaving tales of love lost and found ("Say You Love Me", "Someday We?ll Be Friends" ,"Liar") with reflections on life's struggles ("Vineyard", "Underdog", "Perfect Life") and how we cope in the modern world ("Free", "Sarsaparilla") Martha Redbone finds ways to make us laugh and cry, think and sigh. Her uniquely flexible voice, reminiscent of soul legends Aretha Franklin and Chaka Khan one minute and song stylists like Sly Stone or Annie Lennox the next is truly captivating and is perfectly balanced by the warm and human production, that relies as much on great musicianship as it does beats and bleeps, giving this album a highly original sound - both retro cool and ultra modern all at the same time. The depth of intelligence and humanity displayed by Martha is only matched by her wit and energy. This is an album you will listen to time and time again always finding new ideas?? and better dance moves! A wondrous achievement.

"Martha Redbone is a breath of fresh air! Every song a gem! Martha can be soulful or sophisticated. The arrangements are inovative and fresh, in fact the whole album has an air of creativity, each song having it's own particular theme and pace. Full credit to the musicians and the producer, who did the songs, and Martha's wonderful voice, justice!"
