Drawing on the style and wisdom of neo-soul, world, experimental pop, and at times, theatrics, Vanessa Upson (as Violetness) brings a tribal-vibe with smart pop sensibilities that keeps you clapping, swaying, and turning your feet with the step and swagger of the beat.
A mystical earth-mama, Violetness’s heavenly jazz-rasp, reminiscent of vocalists such as Bjork, Emilani Torrini, or Erykah Badu, dresses the layers of R&B, blues, soul, and world-music that tremble just below the surface. In songs such as “Perfect Love Flow” and “Nazca” (a reference to a geographical region on the southern coast of her native Peru), the emotion in Violetness’s voice and notions of pulsing percussion, convey the eternal human desire for purity and paradisaical unification.Come to the Hideout Saturday, January 9, 2010 at 8 p.m. to dance like Kokopelli and embrace the divinity of Violetness as she joins forces with friends (Stefan Clark and Teddy Rankin), performing at the record release show for My Gold Mask, a bitchin' crunk art-noveau outfit, on stage to bring you a perfect flow of light and love and gypsy-esque rock, while allowing you to warm in the redundancy of winter. Get tickets now!
