LOTL Welcomes Toni Redd. Debut new CD' Catching The Redd Eye

Toni Redd hits the ground running on Catching the Redd Eye. “Just Me” serves as her answer to those who mistakenly pigeonhole her as a one trick ballad singer. The mid-tempo funk number is one of those tunes that allow Redd to introduce herself to the audience while also taking a victory lap for the hard work that allowed her career to progress to this point.

Two other tracks allow Redd to take listeners deeper into the jazz/funk vein. “To The Floor” sports a driving bass and a Harmon muted trumpet and tells the story of a couple finding love on the dance floor. Redd adopts a sassy tone on “It’s About Me,” a tune in which she sets a selfish and needy acquaintance straight. The track’s rolling bass line gives the number a feel of tension conflict and Redd’s conversational yet aggressive vocals compliment the instrumental arrangement.
