Colonel Red brings forth his most refined work yet with the self produced instant classic ‘Thankful’. After years of support from the likes of Gilles Peterson, BBC Radio 1 and the world over. ‘ThankFul’ by Colonel Red is Simply ‘Outstanding’ Each song tells a story sublime, songs ‘Promises’ ‘Careful’ & ‘This Life’ are dance fuelled crisp house broken rhythms, sonic melodic sounds, salted with sultry vocals. ‘Worriz’ a clear Urban chant spitting truth majestically from hypnotic bass chords to concious top melody, imagine Curtis Marvin Marley & Tricky all in one, you got Redz Worriz! ‘Love wont let me down’ adjusts the rhythmical dial to what can only be described as ‘Latin Gospel’ weaving spanish guitar ascents, glorious vocals astride Cubanic rhythmic beats. All roads on this curvaceous journey, lead to a head strong, jazz crooned & swayed heartfelt finale, with songs ‘Livin in the sky’ & title song ‘Thankful’ blending soulful melody with conscious lyrics. Colonel Red truly celebrates what is inspiring inside the soul of music, ‘Thankful’ pays homage to the music, that has shaped Colonel Red into a musical messenger.
