We’ve been fans of singer extraordinaire Toni Redd for a few years now. Her expressive alto voice reminds some of the great Phyllis Hyman, but Toni has her own musical vision — one that classic soul and jazz lovers will love. She’s made a career sharing the stage with many of the biggest stars of our time, and has become known as a “singer’s singer,” someone who other stars look to as a great vocalist.
This month, Toni is re-releasing her brilliant album, Her Reddness. On it she practically defines adult soul music, bringing a bunch of melodic tunes with great guest musicians like Kirk Whalum and her beautiful voice front and center.
To honor that reissue, we are excited to present a new SoulTracks Choice Track, Toni’s fantastic, groovy gem, “Underneath My Skin.” Toni tells us about the song, “Underneath My Skin is a soulful, melodic groove, with lyrics that express how someone can move your soul so much that it feels like they are literally underneath your skin.”
She doesn’t need to convince us; we’re hooked! Check out “Underneath My Skin” below and tell us what you think!
