Description:

The Paris version of Nina Simone evokes the essence of black music, with Ben Kane, who worked with D'Angelo and Emily King, at the helm of production! The soulful voice that celebrates black music! The British media is raving about it! The Parisian version of Nina Simone who sings gospel, blues, and jazz, and the famous producer who worked with D'Angelo and Emily King! Finally, the quintessential black music album, with its sophisticated sound and innocent spirituality! Krystle Warren is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Kansas City, based in Paris. Her new album, "Three the Hard Way," is an intricate and elegant fusion of black music from various traditions and spiritualities, expressing her feelings for the earth and all souls born on it through powerful grooves and strong lyrics. Warren has always used bold language in her lyrics, from "Nae-Nae and Ruthie," a blues-tinged retelling of an Old Testament story, to "I Hope He Comes Back," an honest look at trusting and doubting your loved ones, to "Red Clay," a story about the painful history of the black community. always uses bold language to challenge listeners.She has always been outspoken about violence, injustice, insecurity, and the individual rights that everyone deserves. For this release, Warren teamed up with longtime friend and Grammy Award-winning producer Ben Kane, who has worked with D'Angelo and Emily King, to create the sound that Warren believes should be brought to life. She deftly navigates a sound reminiscent of Nina Simone and Pharoah Sanders - gospel, early R&B, and the alluring hues of the blues - to create a sound that is at times provocative, at times soft, and at times ever deepening. The result is a masterful expression of his sometimes provocative, sometimes soft, and ever-deepening worldview. This album was recorded in a historic studio that has been in existence since the 1970s in Virtanuse, a small town on the outskirts of Paris. We hope that you will take the time to listen to the genuine "voice" that is delivered to the world from this place where a full, raw, and authentic sound can be pursued.
