专辑简介

The PrimaDonna Reeds is a New York rock band formed by JC Ryder, an accomplished flamenco and rock guitarist, and Karena Reiter, a talented rock vocalist and veteran music journalist and promoter. The album "Red Stilettos" is co-written by JC and Karena, and features an upbeat pop/rock vibe fused with flamenco, funk and blues influences that coalesce into a fresh sound unlike anything else on today's music scene. Other notable band members include guitarist Luigi Scorcia, a veteran rocker who toured with Johnny Thunders, drummers George Morales and Tony Lazzara, and bassist John Sheppard. The title track, "Red Stilettos" is Karena's rocky wild fantasy of searching for her lover "runnin' wild in red stilettos, lookin for my baby...", while Cell Phone Funk is a tongue in cheek parody of cell phone users being oblivious to their surroundings, lovers, nature etc. "Lookin at your phone, leave that thing alone, a kangaroo's escaping from the zoo". JC's song, "Say You Love Me" is loosely based on the flamenco form "Tarantas", and fuses flamenco harmonies with rock rhythm and instrumentation." Come to Me" and "My Heart's On Fire" are funky sexy songs incorporating latin and jazz/pop influences. "Queen of the Night" is a rap rock dance number with brilliant horn playing by guest artists Satish Indofunk on trumpet and Danny Ray on sax. The sweet ballad, "All the Time in the World" is Karena's love song to JC and has a rock/country feel with some Celtic influences. The album is rich in musical content, with beautiful melodies, unexpected harmonic structures and complex rhythms.
