diva with tastes that run from the Dream Warriors and De La Soul to PJ
Harvey and Tricky." -- LA Buzz Weekly
Kinnie Starr Sun Again
Coming 1.11.05!
Moving effortlessly from spoken word to trip hop, funk and pop, from silk
screening to graffiti to acting, Vancouver-based Kinnie Starr has been a
member of Canada's creative community since she emerged on the music scene
in 1995. "Hip hop aggro-groove," wrote the L.A. Weekly after the release of
her debut album Tidy in 1996. Her follow-up disc Tune Up came out in 2000
and had Toronto's NOW magazine describing it as rich with "visceral rhymes,
napalm delivery, spoken word montages and eagle-eyed surveillance of the
three S's-sexuality, spirituality and society." Starr's latest recording Sun
Again, (Violet Inch), places more emphasis on the music and less on pointed
political statements. Intelligent and sensual, it's head-nodding pop
reminiscent of the lazy pace of Sade, India.Arie and the playful musings of
De La Soul. Adding to the session are the voices of collaborators Kia
Kadiri, Moka Only, Spek (Dream Warriors) and Coco Love Alcorn.
How to sum up Sun Again? Sunlight pouring down on closed eyelids. When it
comes to Kinnie Starr nothing is taboo, not even positivity.
